Earlier quoted context omitted.

Knowing the tech industry it sounds entirely plausible. I'm surprised people think this is news.

When I read the predictive tip based fee reduction I went, "yep thats what I would do if I was unscrupulous and worked there."

You're not thinking like a techbro: there's nothing unscrupulous about A/B testing or "revenue optimization".

Why bother using library Wi-Fi on a burner laptop if he doesn't care anymore? Why give out the biggest clue, which is the time of his resignation letter? If the story is real, this company is a straight-up scammer waiting for the biggest headline and lawsuit of the year.

I wonder how many people at this company put in their quiting notice yesterday. His wish might be granted. > I’m posting this from a library Wi-Fi on a burner laptop because I am technically under a massive NDA. I don’t care anymore.

Yeah that was either a tactical misstep, or a smart move if they fabricated the date or the fact that they put in in their two weeks.

More evidence for my theory that the only reason Uber et al are able to exist is because they have an infinite supply of suckers signing up as drivers. Any McJob pays better now.

I remember when everyone was talking how we would all be gig workers and it was going to be the best thing ever. I am eagerly awaiting seeing whose legal department if any poop their pants tomorrow. Maybe if we're lucky we'll even see an 8-K soon.

some countries do a better job of protecting their population from corp psychopath companies. Australia is one.

but its not enough and the moment the right wing side of Gov gets in they start rolling back a lot of the labor law protections the left wing work at putting in.

It's the biggest clue that it's typical reddit brained fanfic.

It's also possible he lied about his end date to throw suspicion off. Or he may be still working for the company and used someone else's resignation to pin the blame on them.

But driving for Uber is much more pleasant than having a McJob. You can listen to music. You can set your own schedule. If you need more hours to make rent you can work more. If you get tired you can just go home.
