Guys, this would all be fine and good but you cut your workers incomes over and over.
How many income cuts have you done in LA?
6?
That’s ridiculous.
Travis and Ryan need to stop for a second and think of the actual workers that power your company, and who will probably do so for another 9 years or so.
If you paid an honest wage this wouldn’t even be an issue. But with the constant income cuts these drivers need this extra money.
$75 a week more might not mean much to you, but it does to them.
Did you know that Lyft passengers have given out $85 million in tips. That is amazing. The drivers really really appreciate that.
So think a bit deeper about this.
Consider adding a tip option to your app. Or even better, simply pay your drivers a living wage.
UPDATE: oh and btw, all that nonsense about tips being racist is one of your most illogical arguments yet. If you added a tipping option like Lyft, I bet drivers of all races would receive an extra $180 million dollars in tips. That money could really help out the hard working drivers that work for you guys. Please consider it.
