I agree that this crunch time seems unnecessary, but it's mathematically impossible for Uber engineers to work enough to reduce their wages to anything near fast food wages.
Even someone working 80-hour weeks, 52 weeks per year at $15/hour would earn $62K. That's less than half the starting salary for entry level engineers at Uber.
Entry-level compensation at Uber is around $160K, with senior software engineers earning $400K or more: https://www.levels.fyi/company/Uber/salaries/Software-Engineer/ https://www.levels.fyi/company/Uber/salaries/Software-Engine...

- plorkyeran 5y agoDoubling the wage for the 40 hours of overtime still doesn't get you to $100k, and the people working on this were all making much more than that.
