A few things: It wasn't until I did my taxes that the true cost of running and maintaining my car became clear, and I wasn't really paying attention because I really enjoyed the job and didn't care because on the surface I was getting good money put into my account. Then the unions were running absurd ads against Prop 22 claiming drivers were being abused (I didn't feel abused) and ignoring the fact that becoming an employee would negate many of the freedoms of the job I enjoyed. I felt unions were trying to mess up a good thing for their own ends.
- HWR_14 5y agoAh, so you, as a driver, opposed Prop 22 until you did your end of year accounting? If so, that completely changes how I (and I suspect others) read your comment. How I read it was that you opposed Prop 22 as a rider/bystander and only once you started driving for Uber changed your mind.

And I thought the drivers complaining about not making money were not being smart about it by cancelling rides and refusing to go to the airport. I assumed I was being rewarded by the scheduling algorithm while they were not.
