These returns are based on about five different kinds of worker exploitation, including conscious efforts to engineer regulatory evasion.
Dave Craige Retweeted Lee Fang
David I agree with you. The entire business model and multi billion dollar valuation is based upon misclassifying and exploiting their workers. More here:https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/1116438065541566464?s=21 …
Dave Craige added,
do you know any uber drivers, or is your entire worldview shaped by journalists who professionally hate anything that works? my dad’s an uber driver. he’s paid well, has always been, and loves the work.
I'm happy for your dad, and there are definitely Uber drivers who are happy with the gig. But those are individual data points, and comprehensive analysis has shown pretty conclusively that, on average and including operating expenses, Uber drivers make less than minimum wage.
the story changes by region, by time of day, and by hours driving per week. the media is taking aggregate data and telling a story about full time drivers in big, expensive cities that is completely untrue. you are disseminating that story because you want to believe it.
The aggregate data is the story that matters.
it’s the only story that matters to you, because it confirms your biases, but to the average full time driver it’s completely irrelevant
Mike, it is great to hear about your Dad putting in a lot of hard work as a driver. Everyone has a lot of respect for that. (Has he been doing it for a few years and experienced a few income cuts yet?)
