Summary

Today, Wesley and Kim welcome Susan Fowler Rigetti. She talks her experiences at Uber as a young software engineer and the challenges when dealing with bad behavior. What can you do when you try to speak up when the internals systems are setup up to protect the "high performers"? They discuss what to do when the culture of the company is not aligned with your personal values and how to speak truth to power without blowing up your career. Susan also mentions her prior life experiences in "terrible life situations" made her ready to stand up for herself.

Susan received high media attention in 2017 for taking a stand to speak out against the leadership at Uber about the harassment she was experiencing while working early in her career as a software engineer at Uber.
