Here are some bad things about being an Lyft or Uber driver: 1. Some drunk customers will vomit in your car. 2. A full coverage, higher cost car insurance is required. 3. Car expenses are really costly: oil changes, car washes, car repairs, etc. 4. You can get suspended or fired for having a 4.6 or lower star rating.
I drive for Uber. It's a very easy side income which has helped my home these days. When someone said we are changing the world, I question it. I just drive dude. I see a lot of Hear / Say. Personally I'm a bigger fan of Lyft.
Uber has a lot of enemies. They have a cut throat Business model. Based on what I'm seeing I'll predict that Uber will turn on its own drivers if they can get pass the political road blocks in regards to the driverless cars.
She is totally right. If u dont drive for uber u wont understand. Uber makes it look good but they will clip u fast. For example let a passenger have a bad day any complaint they will deactivate u with no warning. U drive for less and they make u feel like your independent only so they don't have to follow some labor laws and pay for things like insurance. Also the drivers deal with the customers who pay less but want more. Drivers take that loss uber gets richer. U dont evev know what uber charges u till later. So during surge u might pay twice as much as a cab ride. A big SCAM...
If you are going to put a "new" company on blast with such horrific accusations, give us facts! Going through in your trash? What is she talking about & why is her, or anyone's trash, that important to an Uber driver? It sounds like an isolated incident. Even if you have a bad driver, go after him or her, not the company. No one here believes a company isgoing to potentially loose their $18.2 billion business over random trash digging. It makes no sense! You come across as a shady journalist! GIVE US FACTS! Customers care if you give us a reason. I just hope your journalism has more clarity and is backed with facts! As a colleague in journalism, I hate smear campaigns with no merit. You're a professional journalist. You should be able to give us facts! It sounds to me like you just had a bad ride and now want to blast the company!
4th video I've seen of her talking about Uber..Still ambiguous about what the scandal is or what her problem is..if you're going to run a smear campain, at least point at something they did wrong..Not.."why do they have to resort to what some people would call..you know.."Look, I you know it's" hard for her to come up with something believable that the is wrong or unethical so they don't mention anything..and if anyone says Oh no Yepprd, you're wrong they are stalking her and threatening her and following her kids! Then she should call the police and be done with it! But she won't because she's scared of them? Maybe it's because she doesn't have one ounce of proof via Iphone video recordings of the stalking and threats and following and maybe that's because they haven't done it and she's trying to get attention. I've never seen so much double talk in my life in this video from reporters. Have some basic proof for your claims, lady! The only thing I got out of this is these reporters are concerned that Uber might find out who you are sleeping with and that Uber has made threats against people's children? LOLOL. Sounds like conspiracy theorists...She emailed the board and asked if they would support a comapany that would investigate her. Does she think they're gonna answer every nut job that says Uber is trying to take over their world and following them around? I'm not saying she's flat out lying, I"m saying if you go on a smear campaign and get attention, yes Uber may call you and say "uhh Hi, what's up with you?" if (and only if) you get this much attention.
Trust me uber will fail day mark my word !!!!!!!! It doesn't matter if you have billions of dollars !!!!!! One day they drivers will get tired of it almost they are now .......if the driver unit and they say hey we need a share of the company or if they say we are not driving for you any more !!! What would uber do ? And I think we need to uber we don't work for you ....u work for us ..
Kazi Hassan it’s already happening. Signs: The ceo resigned, constant lawsuits, unhappy drivers and many, many other issues. Don’t be impatient, it will happen. when it does ask yourself, do you feel stupid now?
Travis kalanick has helped people I personally know and love, supplement their incomes to have a decent meal and feed their families. WHO THE FUCK IS SARAH LACY and what has she done for my people?!!
I agree. She does not sound like a good journalist. No facts, just complaining. Who has the time to complain about every bad experience in life.... besides her? BORING!
What service does lacy provide?! Her company currently charges a fee to access articles online. How will she grow her business ?! How will she gain market share ?! As a business person she is at the mercy of the market place and the consumers! But her job is not to focus on economics, instead her job is to dig through Uber's trash in hopes of sensationalizing rumors, lies, and allegations! She admits herself she uses the UBER service ! She is a trash "journalist " who charges a fee for consumers to access trash articles! I ask once again what is her service ?! Can it be clearly defined? This tv appearance is very self serving if not unethical !
Ethics and morality? Hmm it's kind of unethical and immoral, to target a rapidly rising company, just to get her big breakout story. She sees this story as a ladder and hammer, to reach up and breakthrough that tough glass ceiling. You Mam... are a defamer for hire!
You're so right! I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this. This lady is supposed to be a professional journalist but has given us no facts. 9th grade journalism at best! 100% boring!
Uber is a disgusting company. They are so so wrong. Everyone knows this but they struggle to admit it for some reason? It's beyond me. Uber is not cool, cutting edge, up to date or "life changing" & they aren't worth the money they are valued at. Wake up people. Please please please. #UberLoser
Whether you like this company is on you.... Can those who oppose Uber gives us something to work with? Facts! Sure we all have our right to comment. But, this is the American way. You come up with a thought, next a plan, then you implement! Sure it has some kinks to work out but wow! Hater'ism is all over this company that truly revolutionized the old way of Taxi cab service, to a more modern day, universal app. You can go to one app and get a Uber driver because it knows where you are and where the nearest driver is! Genius! Ok, now let them work out the kinks! Haters! It's not cancer people! Lighten up! But, this so-called journalist is weak! No facts! Once I got lukewarm coffee from Starbucks. That doesn't make it a bad company or a bad business model.... Ok, I'll stop. I know I write way too many words... lol. Blessings everyone!
Women say "O, men just hate successful women blah blah.." And then there are women like this one who cant see men achieve heights of success. RIP, 'Feminism'
it is not any more dangerous to ride uber then taxi. i prefer uber! i had great experince with the drivers etc but i will not ride a taxi. they do fire drivers. i know planty people who works for uber. who is she to be answered put your energy in the more productive matter,like people being ocused unfairly and thrown to jail. corruption , etc. dont attack man who is brilliant idea took off and being a success
and on e time i had a black car , it was karioki set up by the driver, we were singing while driving , we had fun and the driver was amazing , when people com to town we order black car
The only thing substantive the Lacy said, upon rather mild push back from the other guest, she almost immediately recanted: she has no reason to believe that anyone did what was discussed to rat out a leaker, even though what was discussed is not illegal. She also concurs that nothing else illegal has occurred or that even merits a criminal investigation. But somehow, the world has to align to attack the CEO on this accusation, regardless of its individual merits, just to make sure that he isn't free to do what she THINKS he'll do in the future if he isn't confronted. This is like the "Minority Report" where she is the psychic and the rest of us are John Anderton.
This comment is historically unrated! She really has no proof to anything and is making something really small to big and blaming Travis for things he has nothing to do with.
When people are allowed to board and hire the drivers direct at all Major people platforms and keep their 29% "uber" fee in their pocket ,uber will lose 60% of its global revenue overnight ,let's face it,uber doesn't actually dispatch a car to the airport to pick you up,The car is already there ,uber is just sending the car up the ramp,the city's could do the same thing with new taxi model ,open entry ,10% less than ubers price.ubers got a blind spot in their business model and it's called direct driver hire at stadiums, airports,hotels, downtowns etc etc
Your post sounds a lot like beginner programmers sitting around saying "I could build that in a weekend!" You expect taxi companies that specialize in doing brake jobs on town cars to beat Ubers thousands of top tier engineers?
@@mikewilson9236 oooh ok.. and if I get in a "taxi" does anyone know which car I got in? Are two gps devices tracking us? Do I know who to contact if I got dropped off in the middle of nowhere? Also, no there are not any part time taxi drivers using their own personal unmarked car.
@@pawelallable at a major airport YES thinknabout it ubers money is almost 30% from airports and the " uber" cars are already lined up at baggage claim WHY are you having to stop drop and roll an additional 35% uber fee when thr driver is already there? Well have the background checks in place
At what point does the public give up on the media. Journalism is a joke. What right does she have to dictate the morality of a company? She's a nobody who seems more interested in her own story than anything else.
it all depends if this actually happened. if it did she has all the rights to question the morality of a company. even the biggest nobody in the world should not be threatened by any company nor fear them going through their trash. if this happened and there is no action by the company against the person promoting this action then yes you can question the morality. but as i said its all about is it true or not. and this should be looked into
Isn’t this what men say about all women? Also they’re in a whole different world than you. You don’t think this could happen because this isn’t your reality

David Woods 100% true.Uber is the worst company to work for or as Uber puts it “parter” with.
well now I don't doubt Uber is a company full of scumbags, well done to this woman for calling them out on their bullshit!
where's the proof? you have no doubt just cause she said words? you definitely voted for Biden.
Wow, why doesn't she get FIRED! I mean seriously that's all she stands for in her argument. Pathetic
Do your homework on Uber. In all honesty i can't believe what a bunch of shits they are. Terrible company imo. Really really bad. #UberLoser

Well said Sir. She needed to have some accountability for herself and quit living on just accusations
nice to see Gal Gadot going after Travis
She took an Uber back to her house after this interview.
mario41510 She took an uber to her side-guy after the interview...
LOL
Well, She loves the product and drivers but not like that CEO diot who thinks all the drivers are replacable SLAVES .
wow the entire nation sees employees as means to an end, its a for profit capitalistic society, everyone is a fucking slave

9 years later, Uber is 140 billion dollar company.
Travis kalanick has helped people I personally know and love, supplement their incomes to have a decent meal and feed their families. WHO THE FUCK IS SARAH LACY and what has she done for my people?!!
i first thought the guy is in back screen but then i found hes sat besides her
Alright its now boring how biased this nonsense is getting.

At The End Of The Day We All Want To Save Money 💰
She was right.
8:05
I fell down laughing. Chronic attention-seeking DENIED
The current CEO is far worse
Uber saved my life and my dogs life.
this girl rlly wants someone to be fired :o
She talks about stuff she had no idea about
biggest uber scandal?....nope....wait for fowler's letter.
uber not protect the drivers
My first gut reaction was that she is a little off.
Nancy Lee Google Uber scandals a see how corrupt Uber is. She is 100% right. So now that their CEO resigned, do you think she is still a little off?
She's right. T.K. is no better than used toilet paper.
All of them are crooks they already get paid good money from uber partners sweet B.S. talk etc nothing will change GREED
Ethics and morality? Hmm it's kind of unethical and immoral, to target a rapidly rising company, just to get her big breakout story. She sees this story as a ladder and hammer, to reach up and breakthrough that tough glass ceiling. You Mam... are a defamer for hire!

She is right. Uber is corrupting the limousine industry. The drivers that Uber pays, do NOT pay taxes on that money.
Uber sends a 1099 to the driver and tells us that they sent a copy to the IRS and state tax entity. So only an idiot doesn't pay taxes.
A woman scorned
This lady should think before making ill-mannered accusations.
