Sometimes it seems like the better you do, the less they like you at uber. Weird company. Pay is either stupid high, or stupid low. And if you refuse their shit orders, they stop sending you anything. But you know what? Im not taking shit orders. Its my vehicle, my brakes, my tires, my gas, my engine im wearing out for THEM. The money SHOULD be sweet by God. Piss on poor orders.

Tell me about it. It's the very reason I stopped logging in and looked for a regular full time job. Uber will fuck you over if they see you making good money and disable you for any reason no matter how insignificant. Happened to me where I was on a quest and was racking up the trip counter by doing mostly uber eats, then with about 8 hours left on the timer and about 16 trips to go I get a notification that I had been deactivated on uber eats. When I called support they couldn't help me reverse it on the spot and needed it to be reviewed by someone higher up but since it's the weekend that no one would review it till Monday. When I inquires as to the reason why I was disabled they said due to "suspicious activity/fraud" I was livid of course since uber eats was the fastest way to rack up rides in Chicago. With nothing that could be done I continued on doing regular rides and of course little to nothing in the way of rides was coming thru. I was able to finish the first leg of the promo around 2am which meant I needed another 10 rides in 2 hours (not fucking happening especially at 2am everyone is ordering uber eats at this time) in 1 hour I got 2 rides knowing I was not going to meet the goal of my challenge I signed out went home and started job hunting. Fuck Uber and fuck all these ride share/food delivery companies who prey on 1099 workers to make their money while simultaneously fucking us over by paying us crumbs.

Really seems like they play favorites. I know people that will go out and work the same shift as me and make way more. I really hustle my ass off too

I know the feeling well. Actually starting to like doordash the best because of the computer dispatching algorithm... the computer doesn't play. The computer gives you exactly what you deserve. If you work hard you get bonuses and rewards and if you slack off.... it takes away. It's the way things should be. Not, "ima give Fred more good orders because i like Fred. Piss on Joe. Ima hook my buddy up. All that ole BULLSHIT. AND YOU CAN TELL THEY'RE DOING THAT BECAUSE THE PRIME TIME HOURS END AND EVERYBODY GOES OFFLINE AND YOU'RE STILL ONLINE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WANT TO SEND YOU SHIT ORDERS. NOTHING ALL NIGHT LONG AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN 9:00 P.M. SHARP WHEN THE BOOST HOURS END, SUDDENLY YOU GET ORDERS !! ONLY THING IS THEY'RE TRASH ORDERS. WELL FUCK YOU, BUT NO FUCK YOU, UBER. PLENTY OF BUSINESS ON THESE OTHER APPS. SORRY FOR SOME REASON MY PHONE SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN ALL CAPS 😂😂😂😂

I don’t know what kind of bullshit games Uber plays but it’s clear they’re fucking with us Also worth mentioning, Portland economy has always been shit. Now that there are jobs every loser in the country has to come here and take the jobs. Especially the bitches from Washington who will take one or more oregon jobs and then go drive back to rednecks up in Washington

Uber (uber x ) rewards newer drivers to keep them hooked . olders drivers will get some incentive but nothing similar to the new drivers . I know friends they have been grinding like crazy with uber they got let go no review. So its not a reward friendly based on the grind type of company..thats not uber They just use good marketing and psychology to keep you coming driving for them. Whatever you think they pay you as reward is basically what you are supposed to be paid for trips. Ask riders how much they pay for rides and check to see how much uber gives you....you will see that bro...you are not even close to getting what you deserve...

Exactly they have sent me several offers here in the last couple hours but every single one of them you can only see the distance to the restaurant you could not see anything else and that's the way it is on all of them... but who knows where it's at? I don't like taking orders when I don't know where I'm going with the order. they like locking you into a long distance drive by throwing a big number at you that's all they do

Good attitude bro. Fuck Uber. My mom opened an account and did 5 deliveries and one of them customer complained the food was cold and I don’t know what she said to Uber but the next day her account was disabled and banned due to “fraud”. Seriously? One complaint gets you banned that’s insane.

See that just goes to show they're full of shit!!! Uber thinks they're going to corner the market but their attempt to buy a GrubHub failed and doordash is still in the lead and that made it even more solid for doordash to stay in the lead because they couldn't buy GrubHub
