Bank error in your favor!

I just got a mystery payment from Uber.



No explanation. I regularly cover Prop 22 by hundreds of dollars. I haven't had added earnings since March or before.

Maybe this is correcting a longstanding miscalculation of Prop 22. Maybe it's an error. Maybe I'll never know.

I need to point out that...

Orlando taxi rates were increased BY 40c this year.



And travis bickle got 60c a mile in 1976

Damn boomers made more in 1976 than we do today.
Congrats! You're a Zero-Bucks-Adjusted driver. Which means you never settled for minimum payment rides.

This is the badge of honor for smart drivers.

On the other hand, if you got (or will still get) ANY adjustment, Uber or Lyft has you by your balls. Or you're just terrible at driving. Or math.

What if you only got about $12 for 25k miles? :up:

I'd say it depends on when you settled for minimum pay rides. Up until Jan and maybe Feb this year, you could still far exceed Prop 22 min with smart driving.

Now, today, if you have to drive consistently to make ends meet, i think you're stuck with just accepting every ride in your shift and collect your bi-weekly Prop 22 paycheck.

Driving for bonuses right now is a lot of effort, and any bonus you collect just reduces your Prop 22 paycheck initially. And there's no guarantee you'll end up with more than Prop 22 min if Uber/Lyft pull a fast one on you and reduce or eliminate your bonuses towards the end of the 2 weeks. Then you'd have invested all that effort for nothing.

I know you know all that and you just asked a rhetorical question...

Why, yes. Yes, I did. :cool:

But everything you said is spot on.

It was very rare for me to get a P22 payment. Usually it was because I drove a couple hours during the week and quit early because it was crap and then couldn't drive the rest of the week for one reason or another (had a cold or the flu a couple times) or just got really lazy.
Should be continued right? I only got 1.50, not sure how that covers all the trips I did in 2022.
The message from Uber says clearly that this first batch was for 2023. They said they are working on 2022. So it should be coming. Fingers crossed

I was wondering the same thing. The language they were using was confusing, although I got the jist of it. Probably check your wallet at 5 pm tonight.
Does this mean we get another tomorrow for 2021? :ROFLMAO:

I might be wrong. Now I realized that they said for 2023 we will show the 34 cents, while they already adjusted for 2022. I got 729 dollars. I guess there will be no more Santa Claus

Yeah, but the 34c for 2023 is just what they calculate from now on. I guess the big money was already sent

You highlighted "adjustment payment" and that is singular. One payment, and you already have it.

This is one of the reasons I could never be a moderator on this board. I would ban household pets from being used as avatars.

Bigger your Prop 22 payment = more your worked for minimum wage. People that accepting minimum wage for one of the most risky job why not working in McDonald's for real ?
