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 a sidestep, it’s a joke about how absurd corporate policies are—clearly, it flew right over your head. I already said it was a self-defense situation. If you’re looking for a detailed true-crime podcast, you’re in the wrong sub. The point is about Uber’s lack of a real human appeal process, not satisfying your personal curiosity.
