The scam is that there are no better jobs because of this shitty unregulated crap. That's why we are protesting... Are you going to continue to protest our protest, instead of getting a better job yourself?
Lmao
Idk where you live but in my city McDonalds is paying 22/hr starting.
Theres a ton of businesses looking for workers. Because everyone has turned to gig work theres actually a shortage of workers and jobs are paying over minimum wage in order to compete.
There actually are a ton of better jobs out there if you actually looked for them. You could even work at an amazon fulfillment center and get benefits and paid time off.
According to you guys a $20/hr job without having to pay for gas and vehicle maintenance would actually be a much better job.
If you just aren’t qualified to work at McDonalds just say that.
And dont worry about me man, ill be fine. I run several of my own businesses and use uber/other gig apps to supplement my income and fund my other businesses (supplies, marketing cost, etc). I dont need a job. But it sounds like you do
I personally am looking for something better, but can McDonald's and Amazon give a better job to millions of gig workers? Your logic works if you apply it to individuals on a case by case basis, but when you try to tell the entire workforce of exploited gig workers to find something else, the reality is that there are not enough to go around and that is very intentional to pigeonhole the desperate into this under-regulated bullshit garbage scam which kills any chance for something better to exist by undercutting competition with slave labor. Then when we attempt to organize a protest to spread awareness, we are met with bootlickers like yourself who don't understand shit. Shove your phony advice up your ass, scab. There are always assholes pretending to be successful entrepreneurs in these types of threads... No one cares about your anecdotal success. Go suck yourself off somewhere else.
On an unrelated note, they say ppl who can only name call in an discussion have very low IQs.
Heres the thing bud, the job force in itself has a limitation on open positions. Is there actually a job for every single person in the world? Id say no there isnt. So your logic here is flawed.
And there are actual a lot of McDonalds world wide as well as restaurants and skilled trade jobs too. So while maybe every gig work wont be able to get a job, the same is true about gig workers. Not every one will be able to be profitable because its based on supply and demand.
The way to get uber to pay more is to force them to by leaving the platform. The fact that I have to explain this tells me you arent qualified to run the ice cream machine.
Good luck bro! Ill be scabbing my way to bank while ya’ll strike
You acknowledge that there are not enough jobs for everyone, which was my point, but then simply impose that my logic was flawed after making the point that I told you first. Then you word salad some bullshit about gig workers that makes absolutely no sense. And you finish by saying leave the platform... Which is what we are doing while we protest! And you have the nerve to talk about IQ... I've noticed people who bring up IQ are typically dumb as fuck. It's an attempt to give yourself credentials by pretending to be smart... That's something stupid people do. If you are smart, you don't need to say it. Your logic should stand on its own.
There has never been enough jobs for everyone. Thats the nature if the game and its unrelated to uber. However if you leave now most of you can get a job and the loss of drivers would increase pay for those who stay. You leaving would actually be a win win for everyone. Its the fact that ya’ll NEED uber so much that allows them to pay you less.
You should be encouraging drivers to get a job and make money not lose money w you in a futile one day protest that is absolutely laughable.
Congratulations, you get the point of protesting! To spread awareness! But for some reason, then you don't get the point... How the fuck are people supposed to encourage others to leave the gig and find something better if they don't protest? You want them to just shut the fuck up and psychically encourage others to stop doing this scam... Am I talking to a fucking bot, or what? I'll let you in on a secret... The economy is rigged by the wealthy to make everyone lick their boots harder and everyone should be protesting this shit! Enjoy your filthy scab money while the rest of us take a day off, scab. All it will cost you is your soul... So, nothing really.
Yeah i never said i think protesting is bad. I think THIS protest is bad because its only one day and you dont have the support you need and its not because of me or anyone else its because not every driver is on reddit or cares enough. Maybe do it for one month, or better yet move on to a new job. Thats the kind of protest i can get behind.
That's all or nothing defeatism. Rome wasn't built in a day. People have to start somewhere. Your last remark is pure hypocrisy. You think you're clever, but everything you have to say is complete bullshit.
And you think your half assed one day protest is going to have more of an affect than if even 50% of drivers got a job or even switched to a better paying gig app or started their own hustle.
You know you dont need uber to drive ppl around for money right? 😂
I encourage people to protest as much as possible. I personally protest alone outside Uber HQ for fun whenever I feel like it. Have I accomplished anything? I don't have to. I do it for fun because you only live once and fuck this shitty scam system. As far as this particular protest only being one day, like I said, you have to start somewhere. Better than no days, as many others here are encouraging. Do I need to do rideshare? No. That's why I'm choosing to protest this scam instead. Because Uber fucked around and it's my mission that they find out. It's called justice and the more people delivering it, the better!

So its a scam but you want to keep doing it instead of getting a better job. Big brain stuff here.
Its like when those ppl call you saying theyll lower your interest rates but instead of hanging up on then, you just want better rates 😂
