Here’s why the employees were fired in the first place:
In late November, a full-time Uber employee distributed a promotional code, “UberEmployee17,” through an office group chat monitored by managers.

Possibly due to a lack of explanation, support representatives assumed the code was a perk meant for them to enter into their personal Uber accounts. h/t betabeat
