So I quit a job a few months ago because it was incredibly toxic. I legit could’ve gotten a settlement but I was so burnt out I couldn’t even think straight. Worked at that company for 5 years, got promoted a few times. I, for the life of me cannot get a job in that field even though I’m applying to the same position I was doing. I’m at the point where I’m about to start making stuff up on my resume. My degree is not related to the field I have the most experience in, so I’m thinking why not use my degree? Add a few details, make it seem like I know a skill I don’t….How can I pull this off without setting myself up? Being incompetent on the job is one of my worst fears, I could do my last jo

I went from a consistent $20/hr to $16/hr last week. This week has been terrible. Restaurants are empty when I walk in to pick up. Order volume seemingly dropped overnight on Monday. Is it time to hang it up?

Finally figured this out!! If you pick up an fishy order you might think is already picked up/stolen, check the time the order was supposed to be finished, if it’s way off, like 1-2 hrs before, it’s just being kicked around to different drivers in the system. Had a $20 McDonald’s order for 3mi at 1am last week, and I just knew it was a stolen order, but it wasn’t supposed to be ready for another 15 mins, and it was a legit order!

I’m just rambling but bear with me. After some tweaking,diving into some data, and analyzing my earnings, I’m back to 1k+ weeks even without quests. As I logged off today, I thought to myself, this is too easy sometimes and maybe the people making comments about this being an “unskilled” gig, it’s not hard to pick up orders and drop them off, and it’s not a “real” job—basically I feel like I don’t deserve to be able to make a living delivering food.

But I really thought about it again, just because something is easy or not hard doesn’t mean I don’t deserve to be able to support myself. I’m not sure where I picked this thinking up, but somewhere along the way I associated a job being easy w

I’ve noticed that some add ons and stacked orders have different mileage than what the original order has. Yesterday I had a stacked order that said 7 miles, the first order was already picked up once I got to the restaurant, I ended up driving 10 miles for the 2nd order alone, going the suggested route. I’m tired of the shadiness, thinking about applying to the Post Office and calling it a day!

Ok, so I thought I was tripping until I found this subreddit. My doctor refuses to up my dosage, I’ve been on 20mg for almost 3 years, I do not abuse my medication but I shouldn’t be falling asleep on a stimulant right?!? I take 10mg in the morning; I set my alarm early so my medicine can kick in and I wake up refreshed, but I’ve been taking 10mg and I’m waking up 2-3 hours later, my pupils look the same, and my eyes still look tired. I felt like crying during my consultation because either this medicine is altered or my tolerance has kicked in, but something isn’t right! Why am I exhausted on adderall?!? I even told my doctor I’m adding on energy drinks just to get through the day and it’s

Has anyone tried this? So if you buy gas through the 7-11 app you can get a discount of 5-8 cents a gallon, if you buy with your Uber Card and upload to Upside would you get all of your discounts and cash back?

This may not be a popular opinion but I really enjoy delivery driving, it’s a really good hustle imo especially if you have an EV car. I used to grind out OT when I had a w-2 job, and that was my bread and butter, but looking back on it, (yes 1.5x pay is great) it really burned me out, like true clinical burnout, if I had alternated UE or DoorDash with the OT I probably wouldn’t have burned myself out as badly as I did. I eventually will go back to the W-2 world but was thinking about investing in a small used EV to do deliveries, but realistically how long do we have left before AI takes over?

My AR has dropped 14%, Sundays are usually my $$ maker days, I’ve been getting nothing but terrible offers. My minimum is $1/mi, and have barely been getting that. What is going on?

Today alone I’ve had 4 orders I couldn’t complete because they were already picked up, and 1 in which the business wouldn’t fulfill because according to them they don’t do UberEats pickups anymore despite the customer being able to go on the app and place an order with the restaurant. I’m tired of wasting time and gas driving somewhere for nothing. What is so hard about a $2-$3 comp for a driver wasting their time? Most of us don’t get paid by the hour.

I recently quit my job due to a toxic environment that was marked by harassment and lack of respect. Legit busted my behind, secured 2 promotions, and despite having a toxic manager, I was still improving metrics and fixing issues management didn’t even understand or know about. Basically was treated like I was invisible, never received any appreciation. My 4th year anniversary at this company came and went, I didn’t even receive a message, nothing!! I’ve always had delivery apps as a side gig and recently been using it to hold me over until I can get back into my field.

Last night I had an order that I couldn’t deliver and the customer filed a report against me, I was so scared of being

L4 here. I’m finding out quickly that I do not like the Amazon work culture for managers, the constant push for promotion, lack of training, transparency, and overwork is off putting. Planning to stay for a bit for my RSUs but I don’t see myself staying too long. If you job hopped to another company how long did you stay in your L4 role?

I had been running Voodoo juice for most of my grow until I ran into root rot issues in one of my tubs. I will say it was mostly because I decided to put 2 plants in 1 5 gallon and the roots didn’t seem to get much aeration due to lack of space. My other tub was completely fine. My rez temps run from 68-74.

I changed the rez out and gave my roots a beach bath(about .5 ml per gallon). Added more airstones.They looked better for a week then started turning brown. Thought I had killed the roots. Bought more voodoo juice but remembered I had a bottle of hydroguard. I kid you not, 3 days after running hydroguard(no more bleach) my roots started exploding. Now they’re white(still a few problem s
