I saw a youtube video a couple of years ago that said that driving for Uber is a bit like going to a pay-day loan place for a loan. You get some money up front, but after time, gas, wear and tear, etc. It actually cost you money to do it, or you made so little money that it was not worth it. But at least it gave you some WAM (Walking Around Money). Everybody needs WAM, even if payday is three days away.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving company.
Uber is a trash company, from the C suite, right down to the stinky drivers.
I’ve been driving for UBER and Lyft for over 3 years now, since the company I worked for cut staffing and ‘retired’ me.
In my late 50’s I am very grateful that this soure of income is available—convenient, I make my own hours and can hop on or off, at will.
I’ve made good money doing it. The grousing comes from pro-union activists.
