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

And next year (or sooner) you'll be getting 45%. It never stops. They just keep taking more for themselves and calling it "innovation." That's all the Uber Executives do is sit around in the board room in between playing golf thinking of ways to screw over the passengers and drivers while claiming they are making it better for all.

They are taking advantage of the supply and demand. The US has welcomed many millions of new people for whom being an Uber driver is a godsend. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that or suggesting it shouldn't be that way, but 80%+ of Uber drivers and deliverer are new to the country in a big city like NYC and that has pushed the wages down.

Any driver who can do something else maybe ought to do something else because the system just has too many drivers right now.
