On several occasions, raised these concerns with Uber`s HR department. Instead of investigating the allegations of discrimination and harassment and taking appropriate corrective action, HR told that ``we get a lot of phone calls from employees that we don`t always act on.`` Shortly thereafter, was subjected to a retaliatory investigation, resulting in his termination on or about March 15, 2016. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 ­6­ Complaint – DFEH No.  DFEH 902­1 Date Filed: September 14, 2016 1 2 3 4 VERIFICATION I,  John   T.   Mullan,  am   the  Attorney   for   Complainant   in   the   above­entitled   complaint.       I   have   read   the foregoing complaint and know the contents thereof.  The same is true of my own knowledge, except as to those matters which are therein alleged on information and belief, and as to those matters, I believe it to be true.
