“Some day, Trump will take an Uber and there will be a special all-caps article that somehow finds a way to use the old Netscape blink HTML code!”

I’m guessing you are talking about the use of the term coined in 1860 about those who were against slavery? I’m sure everyone who uses the term Snowflake is aware of it’s use in 1860 so you have every right to be offended. So just to be clear, stop being a snowflake(circa 2016 not 1860)

The same right any other company has when hiring contractors for jobs. If you work for a competitor at the same time they consider it a conflict of interests.

Nice recycling of that Caillou joke, things you can depend on here in Gawkerland, a steady stream on Uber hate posts and the lazy sheep spouting the same ol crap.

Are you having meetings with upper management? That’s a shady AF looking bunch. Drivers on the other hand at least where I live are awesome, cars are awesome, service is awesome. Did I mention awesome?

Where do you live jvbftw? It seems everyone who legitimately complains about Uber lives in a crappy place with unhappy crappy people. South of LA the service is a beautiful thing. My last Uber the driver had a mini bar with complementary beverages and snacks. I love the service, once a week I Uber and twice a week I…

I totally get it but if you use the word before the deed is complete you will be on the receiving end of schadenfreude. Partial schadenfreude is a form of masochistic schadenfreude due to failed predictions.

Schadenfreude was my favorite term after the election! But do not abuse the word, it should only be used after the fact, like the election. You are using it with an assumption that Uber will fail, a prediction. Predictions don’t work for all, like the election.

How insensitive of you. Don’t you realize the CEO is a douche and all of the drivers hate being contractors for them but refuse to find other work. Man, you have to get on the Gawker train and refuse to use this service like the ‘TONS” of Gawker readers do. Oh, and if you know of anyone who doesn’t use Uber have them…

I set my mom up with Uber after she had a bad experience with a taxi. Hate on the executives being asses but the service is undeniably better than any taxi. Your concern was about not supporting management by allowing your folks to use taxis instead of a cleaner, safer service? I prefer mine not to be martyrs for the…

Opened this up to see that the Uber driver base was cut in half or 100 people left the corporate organization. Nope, same ol doom n gloom provided by a site that advertises for the competition. Gawker sites love to Uber hate, why is the coffee here $8 a cup and everyone has a man bun?

Because in some states like California no matter if you use your pickup in a business or not it is still classified as a commercial vehicle which can be 10X the cost for registration.

What about electrics and hybrid owners?

What are you towing, how often and what does your terrain look like? If the grades where you travel change drastically you will have high maintenance cost and the life of the truck will be shortened. But the higher cost of fuel in a 1/4 or 1/2 ton pickup will cost you if it is a daily driver. I live in California and…

I do, right before the ‘Hogan does Gawker’ thing. Along with Jalopnik, & Engadget.

I think it refers to lower restrictions for lower rate driver cars where the X drivers had higher requirements. More of a chance that you will not pass as an X driver. But why would regulators have a problem with this? There are Taxis and there are car services, the car service is usually a lincoln or something cush.

Nosir, you just happen to be frequenting a liberal run site owned by Univision communications who are not a fan of the current administration. I use the service often including Uber eats, never have an issue. Is management at Uber doing a bad job? Yes, do I want 7000 employees and 300,000 contractors out looking for…

That douche nozzle Kalanick, shut down Uber, no more will we allow him to say and do these things. 7000 employees? Bah they should know better than to work for such a douche nozzle. 300K drivers? They must be brain dead to stay in a job and be treated so badly. Shut it down now! I will not be ignored when I put my…

Waiting for the edit of the piece title to include Facebook and Google since they both refused to sign which was pointed out by readers . . . . . . And waiting . .

Do it, and you have to try Uber eats, I use it once a week for business and once for personal, love it.
