上周對(duì)于優(yōu)步（Uber）來(lái)說(shuō)又是動(dòng)蕩的一周，公司開(kāi)始過(guò)渡進(jìn)入一段缺少首席執(zhí)行官特拉維斯?卡蘭尼克的時(shí)期。

卡蘭尼克在本周二給員工的信中表示，他要請(qǐng)假去處理母親邦妮?卡蘭尼克的喪事。幾個(gè)小時(shí)后，遭到關(guān)于性騷擾和性別歧視的內(nèi)部調(diào)查的優(yōu)步董事會(huì)成員大衛(wèi)?龐德文，也因?yàn)樵诠救w大會(huì)上開(kāi)性別歧視的玩笑而宣布辭職。這次調(diào)查由前美國(guó)司法部長(zhǎng)埃里克?霍爾德領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，起因是前優(yōu)步工程師蘇珊?福勒今年2月在網(wǎng)上發(fā)布了指控公司的博文。

董事會(huì)成員辭職，首席執(zhí)行官請(qǐng)假，優(yōu)步前方的道路很不明朗。這種不確定性在多位高層人員引人注目地離開(kāi)公司導(dǎo)致崗位空缺下，顯得愈發(fā)明顯。在撰寫(xiě)本文之際，優(yōu)步有以下高管位置存在空缺。

首席財(cái)務(wù)官

自2015年布倫特?卡里尼克斯離職后，優(yōu)步實(shí)際上就沒(méi)有了首席財(cái)務(wù)官。而公司在頂級(jí)財(cái)務(wù)高管高塔姆?古普塔辭去財(cái)務(wù)主管前往一家初創(chuàng)公司后，表現(xiàn)就尤其掙扎。公司2017年第一季度虧損7.08億美元，許多人懷疑他們是否還打算在今年上市，隨后古普塔離開(kāi)了這里。在財(cái)務(wù)主管空缺的情況下，公司進(jìn)行首次公開(kāi)募股的可能性似乎不太大。

首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官和拼車業(yè)務(wù)總裁

優(yōu)步從未有過(guò)首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官，大部分高層決策都由卡蘭尼克自己做出。不過(guò)今年3月，也就是福勒在網(wǎng)上首次發(fā)布性騷擾指控不到一個(gè)月后，卡蘭尼克宣布他打算招募一位得力高管，幫助公司渡過(guò)這些關(guān)于性別歧視和性騷擾的指控?？ㄌm尼克對(duì)員工表示，他在尋找“一位能夠與我合作，續(xù)寫(xiě)旅程下一篇章的同事”。

優(yōu)步的拼車業(yè)務(wù)總裁杰夫?瓊斯在這個(gè)位置上待了短短的六個(gè)月，之后他認(rèn)為優(yōu)步已經(jīng)支離破碎難以挽救，并離開(kāi)了公司。根據(jù)彭博社（Bloomberg）的報(bào)道，瓊斯在公司的“理念和晉升至領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層的方式”上與卡蘭尼克經(jīng)常有激烈的沖突，而且，據(jù)說(shuō)他——盡管不是離職的主要原因——不希望有一個(gè)首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官地位比他高。

卡蘭尼克在當(dāng)時(shí)的一份聲明中表示：“在我們宣布招聘首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官的打算之后，杰夫做出了艱難的決定，他認(rèn)為在優(yōu)步看不到自己的未來(lái)?！?/p>

高級(jí)工程副總裁

在福勒指控優(yōu)步八天后，卡蘭尼克得知高級(jí)工程副總裁艾米特?辛格之前正是因?yàn)樵诠雀瑁℅oogle）面臨性騷擾指控而離開(kāi)，他要求辛格辭職。辛格擔(dān)任這個(gè)職位僅有一個(gè)月時(shí)間。

當(dāng)時(shí)辛格對(duì)Recode說(shuō)：“任何情況下性騷擾都是不可接受的。我絕對(duì)希望每個(gè)人都知道我絕不寬恕，也從未有過(guò)這樣的行為。在我20年的職業(yè)生涯中，我從未受到過(guò)這樣的指控，離開(kāi)谷歌是我自己的決定?！?/p>

法律總顧問(wèn)

優(yōu)步確實(shí)需要一位首席律師了。Recode報(bào)道稱，卡蘭尼克在給員工的一封信中表示，將前首席律師薩利?柳被提拔為首席法律官，是為了“幫助公司推行重要倡議，如男女同工同酬，擴(kuò)大業(yè)務(wù)多樣性，為優(yōu)步未來(lái)建立強(qiáng)大文化基礎(chǔ)”。這也意味著優(yōu)步日常的法律運(yùn)作都要由新任的法律總顧問(wèn)負(fù)責(zé)，根據(jù)報(bào)道，公司計(jì)劃從外部尋找人選。

公司可能已經(jīng)開(kāi)始尋找柳的替代人選了。如今，美國(guó)司法部正著手針對(duì)優(yōu)步修改應(yīng)用的做法進(jìn)行犯罪調(diào)查，而谷歌的母公司Alphabet也對(duì)優(yōu)步提起訴訟，聲稱他們盜竊了自動(dòng)駕駛汽車技術(shù)。

柳還將繼續(xù)擔(dān)任法律顧問(wèn)，直到公司找到繼任者。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

It's been another whirlwind week for Uber, as the company begins to transition into a period without CEO Travis Kalanick.

On Tuesday, Kalanick announced in a letter to staff that he would be taking a leave of absence to cope with the death of his mother, Bonnie Kalanick. Hours later, Uber board member David Bonderman announced his resignation after coming under fire for a sexist joke he made during the all-hands meeting to go over the results of an internal investigation surrounding sexual harassment and discrimination. Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder led the investigation, which was prompted by allegations former Uber engineer Susan Fowler first published online in February.

Down a board member and without its CEO, Uber's path forward is unclear. That uncertainty is heightened by the number of top-level positions that have opened up following numerous high-profile departures from the company. As of this writing, here are all the empty executive jobs at the company right now.

Chief Financial Officer

Uber has technically been without a CFO since Brent Callinicos left in 2015, but the company is especially reeling after its top finance executive, Gautam Gupta, left his role as head of finance to join a startup. His departure followed Uber's $708 million loss in the first quarter and speculation over whether the company intended to go public in 2017. With lead financial roles open, an IPO seems less likely.

Chief Operating Officer and President of Ride-Sharing

Uber has never had a COO, with Kalanick himself handling most top-level decisions. But in March, less than a month after Fowler first published her harassment claims online, Kalanick announced his intentions to bring on a right-hand executive to help steer the ship amid allegations of gender bias and sexual harassment at the company. Kalanick told his staff that he was looking for a "peer who can partner with me to write the next chapter in our journey."

Uber's President of Ride-Sharing, Jeff Jones, assumed this role for a short six months, after which point he determined Uber was too damaged to repair and resigned as well. According to a report from Bloomberg, Jones often clashed with Kalanick over the company's "beliefs and approach to leadership" and reportedly—while not the primary factor behind his departure—did not like the idea of a COO outranking him.

“After we announced our intention to hire a COO, Jeff came to the tough decision that he doesn’t see his future at Uber," Kalanick said in a statement at the time.

Senior Vice President of Engineering

Eight days after Fowler published her account of her time at Uber, Kalanick asked SVP of Engineering Amit Singhal to resign after learning he left his job at Google amid sexual harassment allegations. Singhal had only been in the role for a month.

“Harassment is unacceptable in any setting. I certainly want everyone to know that I do not condone and have not committed such behavior,” Singhaltold Recode at the time. “In my 20-year career, I’ve never been accused of anything like this before and the decision to leave Google was my own.”

General Counsel

The company is in need of a top lawyer remains after Sally Yoo, who previously filled the role, was promoted to chief legal officer in a bid to “help drive critical company initiatives like equal pay, increasing diversity in our business, and building a strong cultural foundation for the future of Uber,” Kalanick said in a staff email last month, according to Recode. That means day-to-day legal operations will fall on the shoulders of the new General Counsel, who the company plans to hire externally, the report said.

The search for Yoo's replacement may have already begun now that the U.S. Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into Uber's software practices and Google's parent company Alphabet has filed a lawsuit over allegedly stolen self-driving car technology.

Yoo will act as counsel until her replacement is found.
