Drivers have many anecdotes of:

+ initial bonuses not paid + hourly guarantees not paid

New upfront pricing allows Uber to change prices on every single ride (implicit surge) while not paying driver's surge rates

The FTC has fined Uber for telling drivers they could earn $90K a year driving

Uber tells drivers it takes a flat 25% commission, but booking fees turn that commission into 40%.

Uber cheats drivers.

[metaphorm]

but what you said is "the devs enable the cheating". that sounds like you're accusing the developers, specifically, of some kind of malfeasance due specifically to the developers.

if you have something against Uber (there's a lot wrong with how they do business), you should state that, and state it clearly, and probably state it in a discussion thread where it would be more on topic.

what you're doing here seems off topic.

I think @flootch has a point. The question is, are Uber's employees -- and not just the upper management -- complicit in a scheme (of knowingly exploiting their drivers) that blows the internal scandal out of the water? And if yes, would their participation compromise the merit of any claims for personal redress? Don't have an answer, not beating my breast...

I'm curious, have you driven for Uber and feel you were treated unfairly?
