(ed. - article says 27,000... but Uber's had three low-hundreds firings chunks tallying ~1260 total over last summer, and said they were freezing engineering hires. Were the extra 8k hired in the first half of 2019?)

22,000 employees not counting drivers? Holy crap.

  Did you actually think they had 22,000 employees including drivers? What a fatuous remark

    I honestly have no idea how many people drive for Uber. I guess it's in the hundreds of thousands?

      Sorry I thought most people knew they operate in basically every major city worldwide that hasn't outlawed it. From https://www.uber.com/en-US/newsroom/company-info/ https://www.uber.com/en-US/newsroom/company-info/ > Facts and figures as of December 2018 > 3.9 million drivers
