| Comment | The opposite. Uber offers things the local firms can't/don't.
The main things are: 1) Uber takes a fee from each fare instead of demanding a large weekly bill. So, when you have a bad week or take ill, the firms still have their hand out wanting that full bill or they cut you off. With Uber because it's a percentage you still get to take something home even on poor weeks. 2) Control. Uber is computerized. There isn't a human controller like with the local firms. This keeps things very efficient and it stops the controllers brother and cousin getting all the decent jobs. And with Uber you don't get passive-aggressively punished for knocking back jobs.
I would have to go back to the local firms kicking and screaming. I'm making better money with Uber and have more time to myself since making the move (and my shifts are way less stressful).
The local firms should be trying to learn a thing or two from Uber. |
