I've been driving with Uber since July. Did about 500 trips until last month. My rating over those trips was 4.83 out of 5.

I recently moved to a spring break destination. In the past two and a half weeks I've done 204 uber rides of almost all college kids on spring break. It was basically as busy as New Years Eve every night. Because of the huge demand from all the spring breakers Uber was surging a lot of the time. Surge=low rating. These rear end in a top hat students always want to cram 5 or 6 people into my car. When I don't let them they rate me 1 star. My rating has gone from 4.83 to 4.71 in the past few weeks. If a drivers rating falls below 4.7 they are deactivated by Uber.

I enjoyed driving for Uber for the most part but these entitled asshat college kids have destroyed my rating. Probably getting deactivated very soon.

if only there was some way to know that uber's whole business model depends on loving their employees contractors before you got into this mess

their stated goal is to replace you with a driverless car anyway. your job was always temporary

Start a grindr/uber style business. something like you already do on weekends, pick up strange dudes and have sex with them, but get money out of it.

Guess what would help you out from getting de-listed?

Having a union and being a contracted employee

my opinion on uber is this: You should do what you want when you want and if it matters then do it for a few bucks a week. you know? it's not exactly hard

Uber is not a job, its willingly letting yourself get robbed by some tech guys who made an app and let you literally do all the work.

I'm glad we have avant garde companies like Uber that frame ugly concepts like getting fired into simply being deactivated.

See, instead of the comparison being engulfed in flames you're simply an obsolete tool getting shut down and unplugged. ;)
