Unless they need money to pay bills and have no other sources of income.
[edit] Also, try asking "how do you like being considered a contractor vs full time with health benefits" -- I've found that perfectly "happy" drivers will give you an earful about this.
- cyan_atrus 11y agomaybe instead ask "how do you like being considered a contractor and setting your own hours vs full time with health benefits"?
- fwn 11y agoThat's a funny question since full time with benefits is clearly not an option in this business model. To ask if they would prefer living rich without working would be equally demagogic.
- t0mbstone 11y agoThat doesn't change the fact that nobody is forcing them to be Uber drivers. It's an opportunity that's out there, and they can choose to participate or not. The ones that have chosen to participate and be Uber drivers seem to be pretty happy about it (or at least the ones I've talked to). A lot of the Uber drivers I've talked to are part time. For example, the other day, I talked to a grandmother who literally just liked driving around. Uber X gave her a way to pay off her car, doing what she loved. Whenever she got bored, she would just log off and head home. She had nothing bad to say about her job at all.
