Doesn't seem to, but they pointed out that they were being conservative in saying that an employee that makes 10 rides in a day charging $9.60 per ride covers their salary. If they made 15 that would probably cover fuel, maintenance, depreciation, and their salary.
Of course this would be a company owned car and they'd be reimbursed for fuel and stuff so at least the company is the one taking that risk. But if they're real employees, firing ones that can't make fifteen rides happen in eight hours is just kind of the obvious result.

If they made 15 that would probably cover fuel, maintenance, depreciation, and their salary. I think its the opposite of conservative to ignore the greatest cost of being an uber driver - your car.
- vii 6y agoThis study from Cornell attempts to estimate expenses and total costs in Seattle across both platforms https://digitalcommons.ilr.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1070&context=reports https://digitalcommons.ilr.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?a... Drivers received about $23.50/hr according to it. The Parrot and Reich recommendations https://irle.berkeley.edu/files/2020/07/Parrott-Reich-Seattle-Report_July-2020.pdf https://irle.berkeley.edu/files/2020/07/Parrott-Reich-Seattl... are much more generous in terms of estimating expenses. Neither considers a company car model which might imply drivers taking shifts in one vehicle.
