How do I sign up? I hear uber isn't even profitable though..

>> No.17343022

I'm an uber eats driver and the pay is mediocre. A typical order takes 20 total minutes. You are guaranteed $4 to $6 for the order and the recipient can tip you but sometimes they don't. I would say I average $6.50 an order. So that's $19.50 an hour. The problem is that after gas and vehicle maintenance you're looking at about $14 an hour.

Not exactly great, you're better off babysitting or mowing lawns at that pay rate.

All I use it for is I'll do an order on the way home from work or an order on the way to work. So it adds about $5 to my bank every day I go to work.

Also...

You can't always get fares. Sometimes you'll run the app for 20 minutes and get no fares. If you're in the city, yeah it's pretty consistent but in the suburbs it's hit or miss.

security guards I guess though the actual good ones are night shifts. Night shift = literally get paid to consume media the whole shift.
>tfw have done night shift covers before
looking for a perm spot for night shift. It's the perfect jobs for lazy neets that dont want to assimilate into society and are also allergic to real work.

>> No.17343138

I'm just finishing up taxes and anything Uber seems to be absolute trash. Their pay is minimal and you shoulder more of the risk whilst they take out huge fees. When taking on more risk, pay needs to be higher to account for possibility of loss. Uber is a losing man's game as are most of these other gigs. The workforce is basically retarded and you'll pay the price for it.

And before you flame me I put in LOADS of deductions. It's just not worth it. Plus Uber hands out deactivations like candy almost.

Typical weeddudexd mentality. You guys are making the economy harder on yourself and everyone else by supporting this stupidity.

i feel you fren.. I feel stupid for not caring about these stuffs when I was 16 or younger, and unlucky no one older than me talked to me about this wagie stuffs, else I would have pursue a degree in library science of something, or join a police academy and graduate to become a security supervisor so i can be a security guard but with higher pay hehe..

sadly i did computer science now, and i cant find a lazy job.. half of the available jobs are constant medium stress (programmers, developers), the other half is max stress when something goes wrong (dbadmin, sysadmin, itexec)..

Actually i don't know the english word for it, We call it Promille here in norway, which is a blood alchohol level, which indeed was 2.8% when i was caught despite driving just fine (keep in mind i'm used to alcohol unlike zoomers). Yet despite driving just fine, i still get fined, and will have to go to jail with murderers and rapists in a few months. And naturally, lost my job since i'm not allowed to drive anymore, as if that makes any fucking sense. But hey, kick the guy who's down. That's the government way.

It doesn't matter if you are used to alcohol. A seasoned drinker with a blood alcohol level of 2.8% after 10 beers is as inebriated as a light drinker with an equal bal after 2 beers. You are still better at driving than a sober 60 year old at 2.8% bac which makes the whole thing utterly absurd though.

To be fair, it was actually 9 litre of wine over 3 days. Fool as i were though, i thought 8 hours of sleep on the last day would "fix" it in a lack of better words, as i never drive on the day i drink. But hey, at least i got a lesson in metabolism. And who knows, maybe one of the criminals might teach me a new thing or two. I was kinda getting bored of this life anyway.

gig workers are classified as independent contractors which means you get no health coverage, no benefits, no 401k, they are not liable for any of the fuck shit that you do to passengers or vice versa. They don't have to buy or maintain any cars or worry about them breaking down; meanwhile you're piling onto the mileage and wear and tear of your own vehicle

california just passed a law despite extremely heavy opposition from uber/postmates, etc. that forces those companies to classify gig workers as full time employees, meaning they'll have to pay for all that shit listed above. In some cases this is a death blow for those companies in california as there is no way they remotely afford this.

so yes, these companies are taking advantage of you. But at least you can smoke weed on the job, right?

Wait this is insane, you're telling me you got busted for drunk driving at bac .028 and having a solid 8 hours of sleep before driving? Holy shit, in America our limit is .08 and I would never dream of getting a DUI the day after drinking any amount let alone a bottle of wine spread over three days. That is harsh dude

>> No.17345111

>>17345037

I mean it is either 2.8 which is impossible, 0.28 which is stupid high and doesn't make sense given he slept it off or 0.028 so I assumed it was the third option.

parts of canada limit is 0.04 and people think it should be higher.... so I could see how some eurotrash country could have 0.02

and he said 9 litres of wine over 3 days which is more like 10 bottles over 3 days man.... still getting a DUI let alone jail time for 0.028 is major bullshit
