There were claims from female employees about harassment and being mistreated. And at the same time, Uber Twitter account, or shortly thereafter, Uber Twitter account from India actually tweeted

To celebrate Wives' Day, why don't you give your wife a break and order in food? Here's a discount. It wasn't those exact words, but it was something along the lines of that, basically suggesting that you should give women a break from cooking, and here's a discount.

And the problem with something like that is locally in that particular region of India, it didn't actually cause any waves because it wasn't as against cultural norms in that particular region. But you can imagine the context of the controversy that was happening in the US that really made some big sound waves that really went viral and caused some major problems and some bad publicity.

So one of the things we often forget when we're interacting virtually is is that many people who are potentially not the intended recipients of your message may get that message. So you want to be really thoughtful about potential audiences beyond those that are just the ones you're immediately talking to. because emails can be forwarded and then video calls.

We've seen so many of those viral ones go around of executives doing a really bad job potentially laying off employees or other bad behavior over video. So remembering that these things are more permanent and can be shared is really important. But let's bring this down to the individual level. Let's just say you're interacting with someone else.

What are the best things you can do in that situation? And there are a number of them. But the one biggest one that I generally recommend is just asking the other person how they would prefer to interact. There's many preferences that people have when it comes to interactions. For instance, people who have difficulty hearing may really prefer video interactions because it can help them read lips.

People from other cultures may prefer to have text-based interactions because it allows them to more perfect their language because English may not be their first language. So this allows them to better get their words across. And there's a whole lot of different reasons people may want cameras on or off or prefer text or whatever else.

And usually what we do is we just send an email, a video or a telephone invite and say, okay, video call 3 p.m. tomorrow. But we don't take that step to say, hey, what would you prefer? What's best for you? And by doing that, you do two things. One, you include a whole lot more people. Maybe it's a working parent who doesn't want to have their video on because their kid is home from daycare sick.
