SILICON VALLEY CRUDE

Nanny abused: suit

This is one Uber executive who may have taken the sharing economy a bit too far

Silicon Valley power couple — he’s a top executive at Uber and she’s the head of global operations at Airbnb — tormented a livein nanny with sexual harassment, even as they skimped on wages, paying her below the legal limit, a lawsuit claims.

Cameron Poetzscher, Uber’s head of corporate development and a former Goldman Sachs investment banker, harassed the nanny by exposing himself, masturbating in front of her, and requesting inappropriate massages and “handwork,” the lawsuit claims.

When the livein nanny, Julieta Yang, complained to Poetzscher’s wife, Varsha Rao, the lady of the house did little to fix the situation, court papers claim.

Yang, initially hired when the couple lived in Singapore, claims Poetzscher repeatedly approached her in the buff, asking her to rub his back with lotion and offering extra cash for “massage” services — requests she turned down.

After they moved to San Francisco with their two children in 2013, Poetzscher asked Yang to “massage his legs using a rolling pin,” according to the suit.

The nanny complied, and her boss soon “apologized noting that he was not supposed to act in such a way in the United States,” according to the suit. .

While asking AYang not to tell Rao about such incidents, Poetzscher nevertheless persisted with his lewd behavior, forcing Yang to quit this spring, the suit says.

“We are both deeply shocked and saddened by these allegations — which are completely and utterly false,” a spokesperson for Poetzscher said in a statement.

“Julieta worked as our nanny for seven years and was an important part of our family, someone both our children loved deeply. Julieta left in April, and we have not heard from her since then. We will make no further comment about this case.”

Officials at Uber and Airbnb didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment, including whether they have taken any actions because of the suit.

While caring for the couple’s two children, Yang cooked, cleaned the house and performed other chores routinely for nine hours a day, six days a week, it is alleged.

In return, she allegedly got a flat weekly rate of $450. After she complained, the couple began forcing her to sign falsified time sheets before doling out weekly paychecks, it is alleged.
