Guys I am beginning to think maybe this company doesn't know what it is doing.
😆😂😂😆
Daamn.
I wonder how cutting 400 marketing people achieves this...
They're a lost ship, those 400 were probably the ones responsible for the new UBER driver app logo. 😆
They announced it with huge fanfare on the app.
🤣
Uber really sucks at logos. Their last one was horrible. Then they realized it and now it's just the word uber. In helvetica font. The laziest logo possible but at least it looks nice and inoffensive. But now this driver logo somehow manages to ruin even that! It looks so bad!
Amazing. Boggles the mind.
That's why they get paid the big bucks. 😆 I see 400 new UBER driver applications, I wonder if I can give them my referral code for signing up. 😆😂
Actually that is a great idea. Get on it.
Marketing department is in charge of all the driver and rider bonuses, I guess subsidized fantasy land is coming to an end. Welcome the the driver's world.
That means the stock is going to take a drop
They better make some money soon, otherwise their stock is going to sink like the Titanic hitting an iceberg.
Ouch.
culling the herd. A lot of big companies practice this. Every now and then, get rid of all the weak people. Let them go to their competitors.
We knew things were going to change after the IPO. Seems like their marketing dept was a little large... 1200 people... what were they all doing, I have to wonder.
just all working on changing the logo 😂
It is hard work making something so bad.
Working on how to cut the driver's pay by lowering miles/minute rates, cutting or eliminating quests, boost zones, eliminating surge, flat rate surge, upfront pricing etc.
Maybe they all will become UBER drivers now. 😆
