Finally, in defense of Uber office staff, from many years experience in the corporate world, I have no doubt those people directly employed by Uber, at Subiaco, or any other office, are just as badly treated as drivers are.

No.
These are the people who lied to our faces time and time again. They are the people who knowingly made the decision to slash the take home pay of all the early pioneers who built the brand in Perth. They haven't had their wages cut by 30%. They're the ones cutting our wages to justify wage increases for themselves. Badly treated? I wonder if they can still pay their rent if they miss a days work through illness? I struggle to pay mine even if I work an extra day.

I wonder how much of this is pressure from head office... In the quest for world domination???

Would you con people with lies the way these people do? Pressure from 'head office'? I have no doubt the decision to lower the fare to $1.00/km was made locally and with full awareness of the fact it would cut people's take home wages substantially. Don't make excuses for these people. A great day at work for them is one where they reduce our pay to improve profits. Wouldn't surprise me to learn they have bonuses and commissions directly tied to how low they can get our wages.
