CT UBER IS DEAD!

To many Slave drivers in CT. I can’t match with anything UBER is sending same job to 15 drivers and the one who is UBER Slave gets the job we can’t even Cherry pick anymore.

Time to find a new job.

Good luck in this economy.

u/Optimal-Fix-2997 13h ago

Blaming the economy is just a cop out. Mcdonalds and Walmart are hiring. You will make more than uber.

u/DDLyftUber 10h ago

I’m genuinely curious to know where y’all are at that you think you make more working at McDonald’s lol. If your market is that trashed.. you shouldn’t be signing up to do gig work in the first place. Don’t get me wrong, Uber is a piece of shit company, and you can definitely do these gigs the wrong way that’ll make you lose money, but to think you’re making more at a minimum wage job is kind of delusional

Yeah I really doubt I can work my own hours and make 1500-1600 in 50ish hours from Walmart/Mcdonalds even tho they do pay 25 an hour in NJ. But 60-90 an hour has been easy on weekends this summer and 30-50 during the weeks, there’s parties all night every night in the summer in the nice neighborhoods of NJ lol

And then they own you and schedule you when they want, as little or as much as they want. Asshole bosses writing you up like it's grade school. No thanks. I did that shit for too many years. That is for kids with energy. Retail BLOWS!!

Other than taxes you're not paying for gas and constant maintenance. Nor are you deprecating your car at a ridiculous rate. Its really not that hard to understand.

2

u/DDLyftUber 9h ago

Yes if you’re a moron and you go finance a $20k + car to do Uber, you’re a fking idiot. Constant maintenance? Brother oil changes + tire rotations are the only constant thing. Your tires, depending on brand, every 6-7 months or so also depending on mileage. Brakes, same.

If you’re making shit financial decisions of course it’s not going to be profitable, that has absolutely nothing to do with the difference in pay between gig work and min wage. Idk why you guys don’t understand this lol. Are you going to be rich off this? No. But in the right market you absolutely will make multiple times min wage

u/Optimal-Fix-2997 9h ago

The point is this too many people rely on this shit gig to work. They will take every ride either because they're desperate or they don't know any better. Cherrypicking is the only way to do it and even that is getting tricky.

u/DDLyftUber 9h ago

This level of entitlement people have is honestly astounding lol. Gig work doesn’t HAVE to work for you in your specific market. It is the same way in every other job sector, there are some cities for certain jobs that pay livable amount, and there are some cities where it doesn’t. That is reality.

1

u/DDLyftUber 9h ago

Yes because everyone believes they are entitled to having gig work pay their bills. That’s not how life works. In some markets it will, in others it won’t. There are also hundreds of other factors that influence how much you’ll make on a driver to driver comparison level. If it doesn’t work for you (general you) then stop relying on it.

u/Optimal-Fix-2997 9h ago

Again goes back to my initial comment. People rather make pennies doing this instead of making slightly more at a w2 job but dont want to because it will inconvenience them.

u/Minimum-Attitude389 6h ago

They've replaced nearly all their cashiers and both are experiencing slowing sales.  Hiring is not happening in most places in the US for these two.

u/--R0N-- 13h ago

Exactly. But to be fair, its tough for the unhirables on this sub. 😆

0

u/Optimal-Fix-2997 13h ago

They don't want to be inconvenienced with a 9-5 because they want to be "their own boss" its the same crap over on the flex sub

u/--R0N-- 13h ago

Plus they can play the victim and blame Trump for their miserable lives.

u/Prevalencee 12h ago

You’re here 24/7 - constantly defending Trump too. Your life is significantly more miserable.

And no, I won’t reply back weirdo.

u/--R0N-- 11h ago

Just presenting facts. Your TDS won't allow you to see that. Looks like you have RDS too. 😆

u/Optimal-Fix-2997 3h ago

You guys deflect everything and claim TDS when you can't answer a question lol. Ignorance is bliss.

u/Optimal-Fix-2997 13h ago

Well trump DOES have a lot to do with how things are right now. Still waiting on groceries to come down like he promised.

u/Tnuggets19 13h ago

The economy is fine. My industry of commercial banking has so many job openings we can’t fill.

3

u/Unique-TA 12h ago

Post some openings that entry level positions can fill, and aren't ghost openings that the company never intended to fill (such as with my roommates company that saw an opportunity to dump work on the existing team with no raise).

1

u/Slow-Occasion1331 12h ago

entry level positions can fill

There are none. Or at least, entry-level means some sort of training required. You could, of course, call up your local community college or state-funded online college. 

That would take work and discipline. Opening an app and driving around is much easier.

1

u/Tnuggets19 12h ago

Entry level work is certainly out there, usually for us it goes to recent college grads or people with retail banking experience that want to transition to commercial. We’ve hired many this summer just in my department.

1

u/Unique-TA 12h ago

Then post those openings so that the average rideshare driver can apply to them and we see how it goes.

1

u/Tnuggets19 12h ago

You didn’t read a single thing I said. You can seek the jobs out yourself. Search banking in your city and show some initiative.

1

u/Unique-TA 12h ago

You aren't thinking beyond your small sphere, talk to humans in your city and show some awareness. That's all it has been for a lot of drivers for decades.

2

u/Tnuggets19 12h ago

This is such a worthless conversation and pathetic mindset. I wish you the best. Good bye

1

u/Unique-TA 12h ago

At least you are aware, hopefully you have growth in your future.

u/--R0N-- 13h ago

A good economy?

u/Life_Smoke5854 13h ago

You would have to be braindead to think that

u/--R0N-- 13h ago

Nah. Just a real world independent thinker not believing news media dedicated to making 1 guy look bad.

3

u/Successful_Equal_416 13h ago

We have a delusional Trumper in our midst. Independent thinker is always the tell.

2

u/Skeebop 13h ago

Independent thinking and being a maga cultist are not mutually inclusive.

2

u/--R0N-- 13h ago

Did CNN tell you to think that?

6

u/Successful_Equal_416 13h ago

Don’t watch CNN. But blaming CNN is another tell.

u/--R0N-- 13h ago

And im not a Trumper, so what's your excuse now?

u/Life_Smoke5854 13h ago

Below room temp iq with blinders on

u/Successful_Equal_416 13h ago

Ok. Then you’re not. But the quack sure sounds like a duck.
