After 11 months, he was fired and eventually made a claim in a court declaration last October.

He said also shared in a testimony about his objections to some of Uber's protocols in relation with raids in its offices. According to him, since he is a part of the incident response team, he would be called during office raids which are done by the governmental agencies because of the company's issue with noncomplying with the government's rules. After such incidents. Uber would lock the entire office and cut the connections so that the law officers will have no access to the company's information, via TheGuardian.
