Ever since the October update, the driver pay has dropped 30%-40%.
Uber has significantly lowered the trip pay. There are many times rides are a charity for Uber now. They are doing a media push of all the new "reduced cost benefits". These perks/benefits are not free but cost less than normal due to Uber subsidizing the full cost. This is Uber justification to lower our pay. However, they know that when a driver or employee has to still pay a portion for a perk they likely will opt out. Thus they capture all the extra money at the end of the year that was "allocated" for the perks that has an "overage in savings". These overages in savings turn into the directors' board and investors' board end of the year bonuses and performance dividends. Making Uber's stock rise due to outperforming expectations while we are underperforming in our households bills. We should be able to opt out of these "perks" and directly see a credit on our trips or an end of the month reimbursement equivalent to the amount of trips we successfully completed. This is insulting to offer $2, $3, $4 for trips when "A" Gallon of gas is $4.52. We need extra cash not brain cells.
