【1995 Archives】

Uber just took a break from the endless barrage of stories about its appalling company culture to release its first-ever diversity report.

995 Archivesresults are depressing, but not that surprising. Women make up 36.1 percent of employees overall and 15.4 percent in tech; black employees make up 8.8 percent of Uber and just 1 percent of tech workers. And Uber's leadership is even worse, if you couldn't guess based on Uber executives' recent missteps. Black or Hispanic employees hold no leadership positions in Uber's tech divisions.

One thing that stood out in Uber's report was its names for its employee resource groups, the groups where employees from different backgrounds can connect and share resources. The names are mostly puns about employees' identities and Uber.

As Uber said in its report, employee resource groups are set up and run — and named, Uber confirmed — by employees themselves. Google, for comparison, has the Gayglers and the Greyglers for gay and elder Googlers respectively.

At a company with Uber's track record on sexual harassment, lack of representation from basically all minority groups, and its treatment of lots of employees with marginalized identities, it's interesting to see what employees have chosen.

Here's the list:
