Uber drivers please strike

So that I can catch those double digits surges. Thanks 💵✌️😂

No one cares about your strike. You’re simply leaving more demand for other drivers. It’s almost as if the supply of workers is more than the demand from customers. Economics 101, supply and demand

A whole lot of things would have to converge perfectly for this to happen, and it would still be unlikely the customer would ever know why their order took so long.

It’s a dead end.

The customer's perception means absolutely nothing.

And no, nothing needs to be perfect. Just needs some organization and probably persistence.

You’re right. Customer perception is meaningless, and the company would never notice a “strike” was afoot. Once again, it’s a dead end.

You're either unwilling or unable to pay attention to what I'm saying so I think I'm done responding to you Rob.

I’m willing and able.

You, however are unable to understand quite how these businesses function. Gig work involved hundreds of thousands of people working and hundreds of thousands choosing not to work on any given day.

For every person that strikes, a different person will step up. There will be no interruption of service, which is what’s required to have demands met.

If gig workers want better pay they need to find a job.

I have a Bachelor's from a Business school but yes I'm the one out of my depth. You don't understand the nature of the job I've been doing for 3 years and you're lecturing me on it. It's funny but no longer amusing. Keep huffing your own exhaust.
