Ahh basically yes you are. They built their entire business on destroying the employee-employer relationship so that they could avoid responsibility for employee behavior. That is their true business model - not ride sharing.
Responsibility Arbitrage. Carl Icahn would be so proud.

- Bartweiss 10y agoEspecially when the article implies that consumers might avoid these things by switching to Lyft. Software devs might avoid a malicious HR department by choosing Lyft over Uber, but there's no real reason to think that consumers are going to face different risks with different companies.
- danudey 10y agoWell the corporate culture at Uber is likely the reason why Uber makes claims of background checks, which seem to miss things like felony convictions, and better safety and security than regular taxis, even though when unsafe conditions happen Uber blames the customer rather than trying to accept or fix things. In other words, Left might be better and safer than Uber not because Lyft has better employees, but because Lyft isn't (necessarily) cutting every possible corner and ignoring everyone's safety and security the way Uber is doing (and always has done).
- Tiksi 10y agoI think Lyft vets their drivers whereas Uber does not, so there's some chance people would choose it over Uber knowing that.
