Uber Shutting down in Cali

[Brozay]

I don’t think this ruling benefits the majority of Uber drivers, or gig workers in general. Drivers don’t want fixed schedules, having to request PTO, drive specific routes, etc, etc

This breh!!!

Then you'll have people who want the benefits of being an employee, and the benefits of contract workers..

That not how life works, unfortunately..

I've never heard anything bad about the company from drivers

They always seem to like the flexibility of it ruling seems to be doing more harm than good .


A competitor will pick up the slack

 

[EndDomination]

Any uber drivers in here, are the benefits worth the tradeoff? If you're an employee I assume uber will get to set your schedule, dictate your route, approve or deny time-off requests, set dress code etc

I always thought the main attraction to Uber was the ability to "be your own boss" and decide how much you want to work and make.

No.

That is pure advertisement. Its exploitation. And it comes with the knowledge that if Uber wasn't skimmed off the top, middle, and a part of the bottom - you would make 3x as much.

 

[EndDomination]

people want it both ways they want that but also want employee benefits

Stop. People want labor protections and flexibility. It's not "both ways" its "the way it should be in a civilized society."

You've let yourself be poisoned by rhetoric from a bunch of people who profit off of exploitation.

The only thing that will happen is cabs will be a thing again . Your logic is dumb af. The only companies that would replace uber would be a hypothetical ride sharing service from Google or Amazon.

I mean this was the main push for self driving cars. Hiring a handful of mechanics vs dealing with employee/contracts workers.

yea uber would start telling them when to log on or take riders they dont want some of them will quit

I fukked with ride share cause it disrupted taxis but honestly that shyt was never a real NEED. Haven't taken an uber or lyft all year, when I randomly checked prices yesterday for my most common route (airport) it was $60+. fukk all that. I can park at the airport for a week for less than that

damn what about all them dudes who financed their car thru uber and need to drive uber just to pay the car off

Transportation is a need tf

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

I doubt they pull out knowing they’ll have the whole state to themselves. Paying the benefits is worth it in that scenario

No obviously it’s not. These companies only exist because they can pay their workers like absolute shyt AND not pay any benefits

if they have to pay that regularly, they can’t afford any random person being a driver and having access to that. Which makes them have to cut staff, employ drivers, and raise rates to not lose more money than they already are........

that’s called a taxi service and that’s who they been undercutting this entire time. They’d put themselves right in competition with them

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

their goal was to coast on a model that was legally questionable until there were self driving cars, then all those uber drivers would be jobless anyway.

fukk them

fukk "the gig economy"

america is a joke. so are tech bros with "new ideas" that is literally just undercutting regulations and banking on getting rich because they literally run all of the competition following regulations out of business.

i hope uber goes bankrupt and all their executives go to jail one day.

And what do you hope happens to the people who were depending on that income? Yellow cab ain’t gonna hire them. Another imaginary company ain’t gonna employ them by the time rent is due.

sounds good to celebrate this. But Uber is going to be just fine. Cali Uber drivers are in serious trouble. Especially now with less jobs in the world

I'll never be against uber or Lyft. I remember when we were in London we took a uber instead of a black cab and we got stuck in rush hour. 45 min and we only paid £17 if this was a black cab we would have been fleeced.

supporting a company that hemorrhaging money trying to manipulate markets while underpaying gig workers ain't a need
Let a company thats willing to work within regulation and do right by "employees" come in and take over

Quote of the year

That is why you have a handful of companies that run everything

I mean....when you sign up to drive for uber, you know what you're signing up for.

Lol cab companies aren't much better. They charge a shyt ton for the drivers to rent the car then charge you for riding.

But Uber is better for a side hustle to supplement your income
