your employer is buying those on 20x optimum points days and then redeeming the points for more granola bars on bonus redemption days. he's saving around ~36% of the cost and that's not even factoring in when he can stock up during sales!!!

it annoys the hell out of me when people don't discuss salaries. then find out they're incredibly underpaid and instead of resenting their boss they resent whoever makes more than them. kill management, not hte workers.

when i started out one company was willing to pay me €1400/month under the strict condition that i wouldnt tell the others

their initial offer was €1200, which is about what a supermarket stocker made at that time. the owners all drove less than 2 year old porsches

quote:

As of 5 p.m. Friday, Portlanders will be able to use the cutting-edge-yet-controversial rideshare service in what has been the largest West Coast city without Uber, the company told The Oregonian.

If Uber drivers are going to start operating without the city's approval, "then we will try to catch them and seek penalty," said Novick, who oversees the Portland Bureau of Transportation.

For the first offense, the city could levy a $1,500 penalty against Uber and hit the driver with up to $2,250 in fines. "It's not cheap," Dufay said.

as long as uber has 40 billions of VC dollars the fines are about as effective as you'd expect.

i mean if they're getting fined in every single market they're in it may prevent them from being actually profitable, but they're a bubble 2.0 superstar no one is concerned about pedestrian things like profitability

“I cannot stress enough how much Oxford welcomes and embraces the application technology — but that does not mean that using it is a free pass to avoid complying with any laws for safety any more than anyone else,” Ward 1 alderman Jay Hughes said. “That being said, and despite repeated assurances from Uber representatives at the last board meeting, the city clerk confirmed on the record that not a single driver using an Uber app has applied for a license, background check, or provided any proof of insurance, as required by local and state law.”

Hughes also said Uber’s “bold advertising” around Oxford in The Citizen and The Oxford Eagle is encouraging drivers to operate without proper permits and licenses. When asked about the citations officers had been giving drivers in August, Uber representative Kaitlin Durkosh told HottyToddy.com that the company would continue to pay the fines on behalf of their drivers.

“Uber drivers who were stopped over the weekend advised officers that the Uber management instructed them to continue disregarding local and state laws and that Uber would pay all of the fines,” Hughes said. “Thus, the fines are no longer a deterrent, and an arrest will stay with the driver and his/her record.”

Due to repeated and flagrant violations by unauthorized drivers for hire in unauthorized vehicles, notice is hereby given that beginning immediately, all unauthorized drivers of vehicles for hire in Oxford will be arrested on site and the vehicle will be towed from that location.
