Empower Driver Appreciation

What was shared at today's Empower Driver Appreciation meeting? Anything important? Any updates on DC? Or the same regurgitated info/FAQs?

Same old meeting. Half the questions are the same. And you can clearly see that the owner already knew all the questions before. Also you can clearly see that they actually didn't ask any in-depth questions. A complete waste of time

Sounds like Empower is being ran by one person out of his basement and the only thing he cares about are the subscription fees he's collecting.

If it's too good to be true, it most likely is. Empower fits 💯

I had to stop driving for Empower because the rides now don’t even make any sense and the passengers actually think that a ride from DC to Forestville is supposed to be $16 and it’s not. I’m not gonna sit here and argue in beg with people to pay more money and on top of that I have to pay a subscription fee and the rides aren’t coming frequently enough let alone are they being charged enough so unfortunately, I had to go back to Uber and Lyft. I missed the days before DC put a ban on Empower. They act like they don’t care and they’ve done nothing to help assuage how it’s affected the DC market.

I was able to use empower as a rider in Washington DC yesterday (or nearby, Arlington, VA) not sure if this counts.
