It's a mechanism for the head of border force to reconcile abs data with electoral commission and centrelink data (centrelink recipients are being automatically enrolled) so that he has a list of people who disagree with him Marriage equality is mostly inconsequential at this point

Sparticle posted:Police shouldn't have to do poo poo. By fining the individual workers they are just helping the taxi corps ignore the issue they created in order to keep profits. They could easily fix the problem by changing wage structure but that would hurt the bottom line so they never bother. The government could also force them to pay normal wages but they would rather have the police gently caress over the drivers. It's almost like the police exists to keep the working class in order...

The amount of poo poo I get from taxi drivers at the airport because I live close by is unbelivable. Like I actually get told off and sworn at for taking a taxi to my house. They tell me to take cabs not from the rank but flag down ones that are dropping people off so I do that now. but I'm probably going to have some guy screaming at me for not taking his cab from the rank that he's queued up for... Make it real hard not to use uber taxi industry, ffs.

I had some bloke go off at me for flying into Melbourne and needing to attend a meeting in Essendon Fields. Like I'm trying to mentally prepare for my job and I've got this dickhead screaming at me for only providing a short fare.

Last night my colleague and I caught a taxi from the airport to Chippendale and the taxi driver was abusive that we were only going a short way, didn't know where our hotel was or any of the main streets in the area (lol Abercrombie? never heard of it mate) and generally slow and useless. Really makes me glad that my work has an Uber account and encouarges its usage since gently caress taxis are terrible. Looking forward to the more ethical alternative, though. Hurry up and get here!

I have very clear memories of my many trips this year to Sydney for work where we need to do very short trips across the city and getting varying levels of poo poo from taxis. Each time we use Ubers they're friendly and pleasant. I dislike the company but will definitely keep using them all the time for the time-being as taxis are just pathetically bad and actively undermining any support they might still have.

I like people complaining that uber is illegal or whatever when I've been subjected to illegal poo poo by cab drivers more times than I can count. This isn't even considering the dangerous driving they engage in while I'm in the car.

I used to have the opposite problem. Several times I tried to catch a taxi from a rank in Caulfield heading to the airport. On one occasion the first four cabs all said no because their shift was nearly finished and I had to sit around waiting. I should have called an uber. You really can't win.

It might not be directly in the hands of the general public, but it's only slightly abstracted away in other public facing jobs. Customer complaints regularly lead (or figure into) people's sackings, and KPIs regarding to client satisfaction are pretty normal. I don't know if you've never dealt with people in customer service but the same pressure to be nice to customers is involved all the time with businesses.

Zenithe posted:These happen at my work, but I don't get Insta-fired for it. If you got a sufficiently high number of them, what would the result be? Presumably disciplinary steps that would eventually lead to your being fired if the trajectory didn't improve? I'm not saying Uber is a good company, merely that this isn't really a revolutionary approach to KPIs or customer satisfaction monitoring. I also like that it's a two-way street for the customers, too. Reading through their documentation it looks like they at least are mildly fair when downvotes are customer-attributed to things outside driver control (not counting them in rating). Also, considering ratings are based on the average of (up-to) the last 500 trips, the chance of a few jerks causing a massive swing in an established driver's rating is low. Whilst people are frequently terrible, it would require a massive group to affect a statistically significant amount of people. They also (claim) to only deactivate accounts after a sufficiently low average and multiple warnings, which I deem fair (in theory). Of course, this is based on their documentation; they're probably far worse in real life. But they're the one we have now that will hopefully be replaced by better ones in the future. At least they're better than taxis in a lot of ways.

One driver, when casually asked if he's a taxi driver too, happily replied with "Yes, you can tell by the driving quality right?!" and I was like... yeah, you really can.
