The question to ask is, if Uber disappeared off the face of the earth one day, would these drivers be better off, or worse off? I claim they'd be worse off -- if there was a better job available, they'd already be doing that instead of driving for Uber.
In other words, Uber is a positive force in their lives, an employer who made them a better offer than any other, and they've getting shit for not making the drivers an even better offer?
- cousin_it 12y agoThey'd be better off. The existence of Uber is what causes these other "better jobs" to disappear.
- khuey 12y agoand the evidence for that is?
- oalders 12y ago> if there was a better job available, they'd already be doing that instead of driving for Uber. So none of these people can currently do better than driving for Uber?
- seanflyon 12y agoNo one is doing better than they are doing. If they can do better then they should do better weather or not Uber exists.
- disputin 12y agoIs that the question to ask? Isn't the question to ask where is this headed, on a grander scale?
- saraid216 12y agoThis. And the answer, frankly, is that they'll all be out of jobs when Uber moves over to a fully autonomous fleet.
