A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Uber uses an algorithm to determine its prices.

There was an article I read a couple years ago, but cannot find, where it talked about Uber essentially profiling different drivers. People who did Uber casually were more likely to get better pay, people who were clearly dependent on Uber to pay their bills got lower offers.

They also fuck everyone with dynamic pricing.
