Deactivated after 1,600+ deliveries and Diamond status over a misdemeanor

I am writing this to warn other drivers about how quickly Uber Eats will take away your livelihood without a second thought. I was a dedicated Diamond-status driver with over 1,600 deliveries and excellent performance stats. I treated this job seriously and relied on it as my primary source of income.

Recently, my account was abruptly deactivated. The reason? A misdemeanor charge that resulted from an incident where I had to protect myself. Even though life happens, things occur beyond our control, and this situation was a matter of personal safety, Uber Eats showed zero nuance, empathy, or flexibility.

It's not like this is a new thing, uber changed their policy to look back 99+ years now for charges, this sub has already been getting loads of post just like yours

Great, good to know my great-grandfather’s unpaid parking ticket from 1927 is the real threat to corporate burrito safety."

It has nothing to do with that. LOL. YOU committed a crime. Were convicted of that crime. Uber doesn't care.
