As the row over workplace sexism at Uber intensifies, a report has emerged of a group of senior employees, including chief executive Travis Kalanick, visiting an escort/karaoke bar in Seoul in 2014.The visit to the bar, where patrons select women to sing karaoke with, before typically taking them home, resulted in an HR complaint from one of the Uber employees, a female marketing manager.News of the trip was made public when Gabi Holzwarth, who was dating Kalanick at the time and attended the bar, gave an interview to tech news site The Information.Holzwarth says she was motivated to speak out by a recent call from Emil Mochael, Ubers senior VP of business, who was also part of the trip. She says he told her he wanted to make sure that if the story came out, she would say they went to karaoke and had a good time.
