I think you underestimate how powerful the rating system is on the behavior of the people who serve you on a day to day basis is.
It's quite possible that Uber drivers do not want to give you any reason to give a negative rating, including being open about their actual feelings about the economic arrangements that govern their relationship to you.
- baddox 11y agoI have a friend I met completely outside of Uber who is a full-time Uber driver. He says he loves driving, meeting all sorts of people, and choosing his own hours. It's obviously just one anecdote, but I'm pretty sure he's not lying.
- mseebach 11y agoI was on the verge of giving an Uber driver a bad rating once because he wouldn't stop yapping about how great Uber is for him (I had not asked, and I generally prefer my rides to be quiet).
- marincounty 11y agoAnd let's not forget pride, and denial. I have had many lousy jobs in my life. When I get the second universal question, "Do you like your job?". I always respond, "It's o.k.--it's just temporary anyway!" (The first universal question I get is "What do you do?".) I really don't like those questions. I know they are necessary questions in some settings, but overused questions by the "I define myself by what present occupation I currently have people." As to this rating system; I'm sorry people, companies are overusing it. I'm kind of sick of it. I couldn't imagine buying a four door, 2008 or newer vehicle(until recently), Uber approved vechicle, and have to worry about customer ratings. These ratings should be private, and if the employee is a bad apple; fire him!
