This is in poor taste, but it's not illegal or unethical. If Uber was trying to hire Lyft drivers via LinkedIn, it'd be totally cool right?

- Karunamon 12y agoAgreed that the end goal isn't unethical or illegal, but the way they're doing it has some unethical effects, i.e. every time they find out that they've been assigned a guy they already sent a recruitment pitch to, they cancel a ride, meaning somebody wasted gas and time to go to a non-existent fare. I don't see anything wrong with trying to lure your competitor's employees away, but fucking up their business as a knock-on effect isn't okay.
- Aaronontheweb 12y agoYeah, I see your point - that's definitely not cool.
- chvid 12y agoI don't know the details of American law but in Denmark if uber is doing what is described here it would be illegal (breaks several parts of "markedsføringsloven" - law of marketing).
