#12Uber has said it is just a platform enabling the transaction between an independent driver and customer. That puts the entire burden of employee classification on the company. If HR sets the travel policy on the app, they would be authorizing it.

#13Rare Uber related news that sounds good for the company. If this sees a good rate of adoption, and the idea does sound reasonable to me so it may, it would create a much more stable model for reliable revenue that being business to business can provide.
Uber needs to go the way of the dodo bird! Let Lyft and others take it's place. Maybe Lyft buys Uber. Personally and after Uber let $1k get stolen from my bank account and laughed via their bro PR statement (it's the users' fault)it's been great to see all their bad behavior come back to bite them.
I... really fail to see how this happened.

#15If I was a large business with deep pockets, I'd be wary of signing up to use independent contractors to ferry employees around and get embroiled in the employee misclassification debate.

It also appeared precisely when Uber needed a distraction from the news that they'd entered into a settlement with the FTC over mishandling of customer data. So I'd say that's a pretty fair assumption.

In 2013 or 14 or earlier Uber accounts started to get hacked because people did not use the strongest Username and Password . Uber knew about these hacks and their PR was it's the user's fault vs. sending out emails alerting all users to change their passwords to something crazy secure and utilize 2fa. No they did not do that .. they just released a statement saying it's their users faults.
The hacks happened a dozen times a day for months to years per searching twitter ... drivers in some far off country ... charging obscene amounts for a ride in London for example. The majority of these hacks/stolen money were coming from London.
Then as a user you want to immediately cut ties with Uber, but no there was no way to cancel your account and be done with these scumbags .. you had to send them an email and it took five days for them to cancel my account. All the while I was worried that it might happen again within those five days.
Then years later all this other stuff comes out about Uber.
They never cared for anyone who wasn't Kalanick's BRO ... from their drivers to their employees to their customers to whomever did business with them.
BenchMark is so right to try and rid Uber of that egomaniac... it's all about him vs. everyone else. I hope he keeps being himself ... he's just going to bring down Uber and only hold the ashes that once was Uber in hands!!!
