This approach led to a number of controversies and legal issues, including disregard for local regulations, poor treatment of drivers, and a toxic corporate culture. The book also discusses the Holder report, which detailed numerous infractions across Uber's offices worldwide and led to the stepping down of Travis Kalanick as CEO. The report recommended a stronger board and an independent CEO to guide Uber's transition.
