San Francisco-based Uber placed its diversity chief, Bo Young Lee, on leave after workers complained about two “Don’t Call Me Karen” events she moderated.
Uber Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Bo Young Lee speaks onstage at a TechCrunch conference on Sept. 7, 2018, in San Francisco. Lee lives in New York.
Asked a question about preventing “tone-deaf, offensive and triggering” conversations in diversity initiatives at an all-hands meeting a few weeks later, Lee reportedly said the series was aimed at having tough, not necessarily comfortable conversations. More outrage and complaints to executives ensued, according to the report.
“I think when people are called Karens it’s implied that this is someone that has little empathy to others,” one employee reportedly wrote. “... Like why can’t bad behavior not be called out?”
