I don’t understand the rationale behind the Uber law.
If somebody operates a farmer’s market and farmers come and go as they please to sell their produce, we wouldn’t see them as employees, do we? Why is ride marketplace any different? Why uber drivers != ebay sellers?
There is something about Craig Newmark’s approach to business. I met him around 2002 to get his permission to clone the site in Turkey. He was like go ahead, no need a permission/license... Obviously didnt get market fit :)
Uber friends,
I’ve been through layoffs myself but that doesn’t mean I understand how you’re feeling or what you’re going through.
If you’re considering your options, or not even sure what to do next, happy to listen and help. @jxavvy did it to me and I’d love to pay it fwd.
Just went through my old DMs, it was an emotional rollercoaster.
1- Remembered how much I loved the people I worked with and my job
2- Relived the trauma caused by Turkish media
3- Remembered the pain I felt after layoffs
4- Miss certain parts of my life in SF
To all the outsiders watching this unfold with a 🍿. I get it, there is entertainment value. But dont forget there are hundreds of people (and their families) who are materially impacted by this. If you know them, check in, be a good friend. Be kind.
You don't blame the mad man when he burns down the building, you blame the sane ones who gave him the fire. All of the republicans, who continued to support Trump are responsible for this.
