I'd be afraid of a bad review if I told a passenger I'm not happy driving for Uber.
What do I have to gain from sharing this info? At best I'm where I was before and at worst maybe an Uber employee is testing me for fidelity and I could be punished. The truth is somewhere in between, and a non zero number of passengers would rate me a non-5 star if I complained about my condition.
So take the info with a grain of salt.
- JoshTriplett 10y agoI don't mind a driver mentioning they're not happy driving for Uber and Lyft, or that the rates have gone down in the area, or that they've had a lot of short trips today. That alone wouldn't cause me to rate a driver poorly, though I can imagine that it might for some people. I do mind when I get a 20-minute rant for the duration of the trip, though. I've had that happen once or twice, once accompanied with a less than subtle "it's possible to tip in cash".
- jpkeisala 10y agoUsually I would not mind but then again if I am tired or busy which I usually am when commuting. I don't feel like listening other people problems.
- jrockway 10y agoI don't ask anymore (for exactly these reasons; why would anyone trust me with this information), but you can kind of get a picture of how much the person likes their job by the general interaction.
