"Uber is mercilessly commoditizing drivers and squeezing every last drop of blood from their veins." Hyperbole much? Reading the article it's pretty obvious that Uber is trying to solve for a particular problem: Drivers who sign up and only work a few and the best hours to maximize their income. Uber is indicating they want to reward loyal longer hour drivers over the Friday and Saturday night 4 hour prime time put $200 in their pocket driver.
- braythwayt 11y agoI don't think we have any basis for disagreement. I say Uber wants to commoditize its drivers. You quote the article saying that Uber doesn't want its drivers maximizing their income per hour of driving.
- jusben1369 11y agoI think the key here is that Uber is no longer treating all drivers equally. It's differentiating based on your loyalty and hours spent as a driver. In the long run they will adopt self driving cars. So will FedEx and the Post Office though and we're not demonizing them.
