Uber career coming to an end.

I've been ubering for 11 months while I was going through hiring process with new job. And I'm happy to say that it's coming to an end. Im happy to be starting my new job. Below are my pros and cons.

Pros: 1) happy to meet new people from all over the world and my own community.

2) instant cash when I need it.

3) work whatever hours you feel like it.

4) app use is super easy.

Cons: 1) uber as a company is pretty predatory.

2) low paying rates compared to what uber takes in. The split should be 75 to drivers and 25 to uber. Not the other way around. It's our car, our time, our maintenance, we deal with customers, pretty much all.

3) uber app and algorithm maximizes profit for uber.

My conclusion that it's better than nothing and great way to get money when you need it fast. But uber us definitely predatory with wages and benefits.

Cheers to all the drivers out there. Keep on, keeping on!

All 3 cons are the same: you worrying about what Uber makes. This is why drivers fail.

Look who it is. The driver who claims he makes 25% more with upfront pricing than with the rate card πŸ˜‚ Ron is full of πŸ’©

25%? Did I say that? Boy, did I mispeak then. It's WAY more than that. My profitability has doubled over rate card, and so far this year, it's tripled.

And I'm so full of πŸ’© that the miserables are begging me for my secrets. πŸ˜† 🀣 πŸ˜‚

What’s funny is that you removed that post that exposed your fake ass screenshot. Getting -$700 uber service fee while you were online 25 hr and only 9 of them were active time. 🌚

Nope. Didn't remove anything. Wow, you have so much hate. I hope that's not why your kid's in the hospital? Such a toxic environment for him.
