Since its founding in 2009, Uber has revolutionized the transportation industry.
Leveraging smartphone technology, Uber introduced a convenient and often cheaper
alternative to traditional taxis, impacting millions of riders globally. However, Uber's rapid
growth has been accompanied by significant controversy. Uber has faced criticism regarding
its leadership style and corporate culture. Potential issues include allegations of employee
mistreatment, aggressive tactics to bypass regulations, and questionable business practices
during its rapid expansion (Isaac, 2017).
