Ep #184 Uber threatens to leave Minnesota, and Uber EV drivers get a bonus, sort of.

3/11/2024
Send us a Text Message. As we swing through the maze of the gig economy, this rollercoaster ride of an episode is packed with both heartwarming and hard-hitting stories. I'm sharing the scoop on scoring birthday freebies and the importance of human connection, like when Larry drove a determined young man to a job interview. But it's not all sunshine and freebies—we're tackling the contentious debate over driver safety and wage regulations in Minneapolis, with giants like Uber threatening to take their ball and leave the playground. Navigating the gig economy's seas can be like wrestling an octopus, and we're here to share our playbook. From the comedic mishap of a tire inflation misadventure to the murky waters of Instacart's new terms of service, we're dissecting the power plays between gig workers and the platforms they rely on. Prepare to chuckle and ponder as we take you through the tech side of shopping apps, and don't miss out on the quirky tales of multi-apping delivery drivers. We get candid about the ethical dilemmas faced by delivery drivers, including the controversial refusal to deliver a Plan B pill order, sparking a debate on the intersection of personal beliefs and professional responsibilities.

Ep #178 NYC Uber is falling apart and drivers are getting random money from Lyft.

2/5/2024
Send us a Text Message. As the sun sets on one chapter, a new dawn beckons for our Gig Economy Podcast. With a heavy heart, Jesper reveals his personal decision to steer away from the mic, entrusting the legacy we've built to new voices. This episode is a tapestry of genuine emotion and insightful discussion, as we bid farewell and turn to the significant shifts rocking the gig worker's world, including the potential upheavals due to evolving government regulations and the ripple effects on ride-share drivers. Navigating through the currents of change, we recount a tale of an Uber ride gone sideways, dissecting service expectations against the backdrop of the Uber Comfort promise. Our wheels keep turning as we plug into the conversation around electric vehicles, debating the practicality and implications for drivers and the environment. This journey of reflection and foresight isn't without its detours into human behavior under duress, illustrated by a troubling incident involving a Lyft driver and a DC Rabbi. As the final mile approaches, we laugh, ponder, and navigate the complexities of Uber earnings and the feasibility of an 'Uber Walk' service with humorous realism. Weaving through the strands of our shared experiences. It's been a ride filled with camaraderie and resilience, and as we pull to the side of the road, we look into the rearview mirror with gratitude and forward to the path ahead with anticipation.
