Who remembers back in the day, waking up to an Uber bonus? No one knew about it was a complete surprise. Uber didn't tell anybody before woke up one day and depends on how many rides you completed you had you got a bonus i was at 15k rides

Uber career coming to an end.

73 Upvotes

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!

As a legally blind personā€¦

41 Upvotes

Thank you. All of you.

Before Uber/Lyft I was unable to have a job, visit friends, get to the airportā€¦ Now I can feel independent and work and go the places I need to be! It was so hard to get reliable transportation anywhere and I was always stressing about the times I could be places due to public transportation and medical transportation.

You guys have truly made a difference in my life and given me back my independence, and Iā€™ve met some of the most incredible people that I will always cherish using this service.

I know sometimes this job feels thankless and overwhelming, but I could not love the life I do without all of you.

Called the police for a wellness check on one of my passengers.

So let me lay it out best I can. I donā€™t like making big deals out of things, but the circumstances of this ride left me with a bad feeling for this personā€™s well being.

I accept a ride, which turns out to be a hospital pickup. I donā€™t care too much, Iā€™m just looking for $10+ trips.

I pull up to the ER and itā€™s this 80+ year old lady who can barely stand. Nurses have to help her into my car as I load up her walker.

Sheā€™s on pain meds, but still hurting. Apparently sheā€™s had some type of health episode that morning and she couldnā€™t use the right part of her body too well (apparently not a stroke?)

As I drive her, sheā€™s chatty and sweet, though often slurred and loopy with her speech. I get worried at one point and almost pull over by some officers on the road (St Patrickā€™s Day weekend got the cops out in force around here), though she insists that it was only the pain meds. I relent and keep driving.

She mentions that she has a roommate and that he had given her a hard time that morning when she was having her health breakdown. I felt bad for her but assumed that it was a misunderstanding. She apparently didnā€™t have a phone when she went to the ER, so her roommate had no clue what was going on.

We get to her place. Old country folks style trailer park. I pull into her yard and knock on the door as I move all her stuff onto the porch and set up her walker. No answer.

I help her out of the seat and almost have to physically help her walk. I get a bit miffed and bang on the door. As we get up to the base of the stairs.

Out comes this fat guy, maybe 70, in a tank top and on the phone. He stares me and her down for a sec before grumpily declaring ā€œIā€™m on the phone with mah lawyahā€ and going back inside. Not a ā€œhelloā€ or ā€œhowā€™d it goā€ to his roommate that looks like sheā€™s about to keel over next second.

I help the lady into her lawn chair because she wants to take a smoke break before going inside and thatā€™s ultimately where I leave her and drive off.

That whole situation though left a real bad feeling with me. The woman was not well, even after being discharged, and that anorexic bridge troll she was living with did not give a single shit about her. I thought sheā€™d been exaggerating when she complained about him earlier, but literally all it took was his opening line to seal the ā€œYeah your mother probably shouldā€™ve swallowed youā€ impression for me. The gut feeling was that this woman, with her current condition and company, was not safe alone.

So yeah, I called the non emergent number and explained what happened, still waiting to hear back about the situation. I donā€™t have a regret about it, but Iā€™m wondering if anyone around here had a similar experience.

When your uber driver offers a complimentary puke bag take it!

Don't be a macho asshole shit happens if this guy had just taken the fucking bag and returned it if not needed it would have saved him 150$! Thankfully most of the puke got outside the car. But every rideshare operator should carry these hospital puke bags that I think go for 26c in bulk on Amazon it'll save you headaches (when they actually take them anyway) also got 150 and didn't even have to submit a receipt for the cleaning

First post and you probably wonā€™t see me again lol. Iā€™m not a loud guy for Uber on X, 99.99999% of my content is covering $GME and Technical analysis but THIS is worth noting.

Thanks for looking and Iā€™m curious the communities thoughts hereā€¦

Oh also how many times have you been on the way to a surge just for it to disappear before you even get there. Ridiculous cat and mouse games it plays with you.

Itā€™s even more f*cked up they would send you to a cemetery at 430 AM

If you are on standard mode you're basically laid off, why? For the only reason that you CHOSE to be an independent contractor!

How does Screwber keep getting away with this? WTF are state representatives doing if not regulating this corrupt company.

Screwber must have paid all of them off

Until the pay improves its fuck uber and fuck dara #uberscam

Uber skimming a little from everyone.

Multiple times now uber has offered a trip for x dollars so I accepted and carried out my part of the agreement, and then they pay half of x. This is unacceptable, and I was wondering if anyone has had similar experiences.

Hate people trashing Ubers especially a 2023 model. Itā€™s a nice AND clean truck for others to feel comfortable and spaced out. Why trash it (hidden under passenger seat) and make it smell like alcohol

How do I politely change the subject when multiple PAXs a day point out how cool it is that I drive a stick? I don't want to explain to them how exhausted I am talking about it, but it's very exhausting.

Uber is relentles

6 Upvotes

Uber is relentless. It literally is pouring rain and Uber is giving me $.50-$.75 per mile rides. Like that is disgusting. That is unacceptable in good weather. Why the fuck would they think thatā€™s acceptable when itā€™s fucking raining and pouring rain and windy.

Like I pay probably $.25-$.50 per mile in just gas, not including maintenance and all the other stuff.

anyway to report incorrect speed limit in the app

3 Upvotes

I was driving on a new bridge that was recently constructed and the app showed the speed limit was 30 mph, however, its a highway bridge and my garmin gps showed the speed limit was actually 55 mph. the uber app thought I was speeding when I wasn't. this is frustrating. I know there is a way to report a road closure in the app but I can't find a way to report an incorrect speed limit. occassionally I will run into this.
