aniki , to Boston, MA in Uber, Lyft to pay Mass. drivers $32 minimum wage during rides under $175 million settlement

A girl I dated a few years ago basically went from gainfully employed to poverty without changing any of her behaviors thanks to Lyft just continuously sucking ass and reneging on every perk and pay structure. I have no idea what she's doing now but I doubt it's driving. I hope she's getting a fat settlement check.

They certainly charge enough to pay these people that much, I can't find any concrete numbers but it seems like the consensus is that the ride share company takes between 25% and 75% of the ride profit. What a racket

And somehow still can barely break even.

aniki ,

AFTER paying shareholders. Never forget that.

JackbyDev ,

Do they pay dividends?

surewhynotlem ,

No. They're apparently not profitable because they invest in smaller companies, hoping they'll go huge, and those companies haven't panned out.

If they would stop doing that, they'd be profitable.

JackbyDev ,

So the comment I replied to is bullshit.

surewhynotlem ,

Yep

JackbyDev ,

🐂💩
