There's a pay wall so someone can summarize for here https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/09/30/inside-new-uber-weak-coffee-vanishing-perks-fast-deflating-morale/ Anyway, Uber folks can confirm #uber
Wow even we don’t have Starbucks in our coffee machines
We use Pete's coffee instead
Don’t you guys have cold brew and espresso/latte machines 😒
Sounds like a Snap in 2018. In order to save cost, we could not even use slack for saving 1.5 millions. Everyone uses free google chat. But thing will get better eventually.
Lol that’s like the cost of 3-4 engineers. Is the whole company being less productive from not using slack really worth it?
Fake news
Sounds like they are going to try moving a lot of jobs to India. Look out below...
Kind of exaggerated. It’s not like we just have Starbucks. We have Philz and another brand as well. I thought Starbucks is because ubereats has the partnership with Starbucks. Like how we served McDonald’s on ipo day.
Maybe for lunch you all should get McDonald’s mcchicken
From what I heard, it would be better than what is currently served at Uber HQ.
And also employee s3x has reduced - when I was there it felt like hormones raging and every conf room 1:1 I felt was like some sort of s3x happening (consensual). Also uberversity was a great platform for out of state employees (even international) to mingle and be at parties all night drinking and having fun (you know what I mean)
I think am too deep in this technology shit. I read this and kept thinking if we had fixed Amazon S3 employee quotas and if the quota had been decreased.
We do have Philz and some other brand too besides Starbucks, but yeah, moral has indeed dropped
When your headline is about coffee brand changes that’s an indicator there is desperation for a negative angle. That’s really the best you can do?
My balloons tho 🎈

Sounds correct. Multiple people who are either current or former employees have said that it's a sinking ship. The stock value had fallen significantly and the company no longer has the startup feel that attracted many of those employees in the early days. This is expected though, as the company matures into a publicly traded company, with investors who do actually hold the company to account.
