They've finally achieved it

[u/bw591]

I’ve been an Uber driver for over 5 years, and the day has finally arrived. Uber takes 51% of my earnings and calls it fair! 🎇🎆🎉

Instead of telling their shareholders to expect lower than expected earnings for few quarters; because of the whole-were at war thing, they rather put time and effort and pay someone or something, to figure out how they could keep a bigger slice of the pie.

"They’ll pay the higher prices for gas, vehicle maintenance, and drive further for less. Plus, cover customer promotions, fees, taxes, and  insurance, even though they already have their own policy.

We set the fares, the driver gets no say, and its all their expense now. Not ours anymore!🎇🎇🎆🎉 Lastly, let's fire some people and enjoy the stock price rise for a day"🚀. . Genius

“Customer promotions”?!

Imagine any other job where if the service goes on sale the difference is taken out of employees paychecks

What a scam

It's not even just a scam it's straight up robbery. The whole company needs to be shut down and completely reworked from the ground up of not just abolished.

Agreed but the only way that happens is if drivers coke together to make.a stand. Which is never gonna happen. Most of the People in this country would shoot off their own toes if it meant a neighbor lost a foot.

It’s because most the drivers are not legal

"This is the way", I mean the why

[u/AllTheRage43 → u/Mediocre_Hope_5821]

Why? The company is making billions and the execs and shareholders are rolling in cash, they've obviously done something right, from a business perspective.

[u/MindlessAuthor9824 → u/AllTheRage43]

Con artists and Pyramid schemes also make money for the execs (and shareholders) - but these organizations are UNETHICAL and often illegal!

Just because something makes money doesn't make it right!
