Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has revealed the company's high-intensity culture, where employees are expected to work hard, even on weekends. In a recent podcast interview, Khosrowshahi shared that sending weekend emails is a standard practice, and if he doesn't receive a response, he follows up with a pointed question mark on Sunday.
Khosrowshahi, who previously served as CEO of Expedia, emphasized that Uber is a demanding company where employees are expected to work hard to achieve success. He warned that those who want to coast will not thrive in the company's culture.
The CEO also discussed the importance of work-life balance, stating that while it's not possible to completely separate work and personal life, employees can have flexibility to spend time with their families while still working hard.
Khosrowshahi's comments have sparked debate about the cost of working hard and the impact on employees' personal lives.
