Couple of months ago I was in a Uber heading to work when I realized that the driver did not speak English and was using Maps with a non-English/Spanish language. I realised that our product has a hole and I wrote a PRD that would have strengthened how Uber vets and accepts Drivers.
Currently all we ask for is SSN and Drivers license and that is a gaping hole- as there are many immigrants in the country who may have SSN and DL but they are not legally authorised to work.
The last few months have been hell. From being asked - 'are you anti-immigrant?' to 'did'nt think that many were Trump supporters' to the VP of supply side economics saying- 'this will have a chilling effect on our ability to recruit drivers'.
My project got canned, my reviews went to hell and earlier today I was told that I was being let go.
Life sucks 😞
