I have heard that amazon is temporarily hiring 100k people. Just work there! /s
Honestly, this is not the fault of Uber or Lift or any other company. This is clearly a systematic problem. Regulate uber - then it becomes not "competitive", drivers will lose their jobs and will be forced into another dead-end, low-wage, not secure job.
It is the system.
- MuffinFlavored 7y ago> I have heard that amazon is temporarily hiring 100k people. Just work there! /s Curious, why is that sarcasm? Are you insinuating the average Uber driver is not cut out for the work of picking groceries / fulfilling orders at Amazon?
- spiderfarmer 7y agoI agree. Work is work.
- namdnay 7y agoI’d say off the top of my head: The average Uber driver has a lease on a car that is way more expensive than what they would need individually, and probably doesn’t live next to an Amazon logistics centre
- andrewprock 7y agoMore likely, Uber serves a very specific demographic, which may or may not be available to Amazon: people who work in other cities, physical limitations, social constraints, etc. Say what you will about their employment tactics, they are certainly one of the most flexible employers out there.
- greycol 7y agoI think the sarcasm is just highlighting the 'oh just do something else' refrain is not as easy as just saying it. It may be that easy single in your 20s and with a bit of savings (or the ability to search while still employed) but no one should really be saying it as throwaway line as it diminishes the hardship involved and how people really behave.
