I feel that and prayers up for you.
I applied with my company for a Consultant position that would almost double my income. Haven't heard back about an interview yet. It would change a lot of things if I get selected.
Even if not it lit a fire under my ass to start applying again internally and externally. There's better opportunities out there.
I didn’t, but I see the correlation. Lol
SHHIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDD...... I don't blame him. Kill them mofos so they don't come back on some vengence type of shit. BUT he put himself toOn a side note:
Instead of backing up or standing his ground, he actually chased after the guys
I wonder if he could be charged with something, because he was running after the criminals?
A. Warn other niccas not to fuck with him
B. Let people know he's carrying so now they may pop him first
It's a double edged sword when you put your shit on display like that.
Thanks for the support… it’s much appreciated. It’s been in works since September and it’s FINALLY coming to fruition now… several interviews, meetings with the company president… it’s been crazy… I was about to email them and tell them to remove me from consideration because it was taking so long but I didn’t send it… then the very next day I received a text from the site manager saying he’s going to send my letter of offer and welcomed me to the team… I make good money now considering the cost of living here in Texas… but with this raise it’ll be GREAT money and what’s even better is the site manager is from Australia and wants to badly go home… they have offices there so it’s gonna be a transfer… So I’m going in with expectations of learning his job to the point that I can take over and he can get up outta there… and he’s all onboard with it… says he’s going to train me on my position I’m hired for but he will be giving me small doses of his job to perform as well so I can learn
And @850credit even if you don’t get it bro use that experience to parlay into something bigger and better… it’s out there, just be patient and ready so when that opportunity comes around you can jump on it.
Yep all that screaming and crying at the funeral
Rideshare drivers are already organizing for better safety standards, especially for female drivers. If Uber kicks this guy off the platform it will be a PR nightmare.
Uber's best move would be to say nothing. Leave it up to the customers to wonder whether or not the driver might be holding. I bet driver safety improves real quick after that.
In New Jersey that would have been a problem. But I don't give a fuck. I would have made sure both were dead. True pieces of shit.
Yeah I feel ya
I probably would've done the same thing he did
Because when that adrenaline is pumping
Sometime it's hard to think straight
So you just react to the situation
Plus it wasn't just 1 dude
It was 3 of them mofos
And it was dark as hell, a straight up ambush
That would be their best move but you never know how they’ll react because this shit is clear as day in their policy that if you packing you can have access to the app permanently denied.
Uber breaks and ignores their policies all the time. Unless the press gets in their ass about it, which they probably won't, this would be another good case to ignore. If they do it might be time to schedule a "security review" which is really just an arbitrary 3-day suspension.
The worst outcome for Uber is that this turns into another protest and work stoppage. There's nearly a million drivers across the country and they've formed alliances with the teamsters, iatse, and several other unions. They've organized in marched over driver's safety before. In particular, the ability for California drivers to get paid time off to clean their cars during the pandemic.
This is turning into a powder keg. Uber needs to make this go away
Good luck, my brother!
I didn’t even think about that.. cause if they find that the bullet that killed 1 of them came from the back depending the state they could flip it into a manslaughter case on the Uber driver.. good eye I didn’t even think about the aggressive response in the court of law angleOn a side note:

For the job I just got, I put in my application in the first week of May. I did my interview the first week of August. I got the offer October 20th.
Man, that was a grueling wait, but we’ll worth in the end.
I kept up with the stats for all the jobs I applied for. Mostly weather and data science related. I put in over 65 applications since march of 2021. Out of those 65 applications, I had 6 interviews. Two interviews went into 2 or 3 rounds with no offer. But peep this stat. All interviews except two were conducted by white men. The two jobs I accepted offers for (to teach at my local HBCU and the meteorology job), I was interviewed by Chinese men. I’m just saying. It’s hard not to see how race plays a role in shit. And to be fair, one of those Chinese guys was my previous graduate advisor. The other Chinese guy hired 3 students I mentored in graduate school, so he knew of me and my rapport. So it was really my network that got me hired, as well as my skills. But network was incredibly important.
I got out of teaching full time and now doing government contracts in atmospheric science for a well know energy company and an international aviation agency. All remote work.
I now teach at my local HBCU part time making $83 an hour while my new job is fully remote making $25k more than my previous full time teaching position. And by the way, my previous teaching position furloughed me April of 2020 to part time and never reinstated me to full time. And they were still taking full-time benefits out of my part time check. My last check with them before I left was $400.

A good one....

UBER will just fire him..... he violated their policy..... it's the right of a private owned business...

Uber drivers are contractors which means the company can get rid of them for any reason they want.UBER will just fire him..... he violated their policy..... it's the right of a private owned business...

However this would be a terrible reason to do so.
Bro that’s INSANE those stats and the few interviews that lead to… and major congratulations on your come up… I should have been keeping up with my numbers but I know I put in at least 40 or more apps with only 4 going into the interview state… one was phone interview, one I made it to the third interview only to be ghosted by them one I was told they’d get back to me when they became more established and then this last one where I’m waiting patiently.
I had a bunch of hits on LinkedIn with recruiters but it just never got past that initial interview with them. One LinkedIn deal was with a founder of Uber who was opening a nationwide chain of all in one ghost kitchens… lots of good and interesting things coming at me but shit didn’t seem to be going my way and it was getting to me… confidence was shot to shit and then this place came along and it worked out.
In my last interview with the president of North American operations after the interview concluded we were just sitting there bullshittin’ and he asks the site manager how much he’s going to pay me and the site manager without missing a beat goes right to the top of the pay range for the job, 85k… the president looks at me and asks “is that a good number for you?” And I go yeah, I was thinking 85k to 90k per year is in the range I was looking for. The president turns to the site manager and says “I’m not about to squabble over 5k dollars, that’s only a hundred dollars a week… pay him what he’s asking for” and leaves the room.
Site manager just looks at me and says “I’m gonna get my 90k outta your ass you best believe that!” and we both start laughing. Now I walk around so unbothered at my current job because I know what’s waiting for me and I know good and damn well after all the shit jobs I’ve had along with bad luck that seemed to continually follow me I deserve this job and I’m not gonna fuck it up.
Damn dude let that thang talk.
Im certain that was the one who died that said this...
Cheap my ass! Cost them niggas their lives.Stupid niggas got shot, car jacking a cheap ass Ford Fusion !!!
Man, you and I have been going through a similar situation. That’s crazy.
I know that feeling too well of knowing you got a job coming, while you at your old job. I left my spot on good terms though. But the fuck levels went to zero and I think they sensed it.
I called 2021 the “year of the yes.” I have been getting punched in the gut by life regularly, I just needed to catch a break.
I know about the confidence level too. Man, job searching was trying the shit out of me. I was practicing some for real confidence boosting shit to make sure I wasn’t getting too down on myself. I just had to be patient.
LMBAO you gotta hear them pleases with the volume up.
I think hipsters say he should just give up his stuff and take whatever the assailants have planned for him. I'm pro-self defense 1000 times and have the rule that people should keep it simple: Run up, done up. Don't get any other mindset.
Stay armed and aware gentlemen. You never fucking know, nor should you wait to find the fuck out.

We took this thread a whole different direction but I don’t even care this shit feel good to get off my chest…
bro the crap I went thru it’s been going on for YEARS now and it had me second guessing decisions I made over 10 years ago.
My last few jobs, all of them have ENDED in one way or another in the months of October and November. It had got to a point that I would take off as much time as possible those months because fuck it who’s gonna fire me on my off day this ain’t FRIDAY… lol
but I had one job relocate back to Oakland because they went bankrupt and were restructuring
another laid me off when the oil and gas industry went to shit
one lost a contract with the city of Houston after having had it for over 30 years
another fired me because the manager was intimidated by me thinking I was coming for his job so he railroaded me out the door
and during that time I lost my mom and my best friend so life was absolute shit
the job I’m at now I’ve been passed over twice for promotion. I just decide SCREW THIS and started to do something about it. Like you know it was tough sledding for a long while but man things look so bright right now I’m just thankful for my days in that darkness so I can REALLY enjoy and appreciate this time in the sun. 90k in Houston is more than comfortable living…

Don't know that I could do it.
If I killed somebody to defend my property it would fuck with me for the rest of my life. I'd be forever wondering if I could have handled it a different way, if the stuff was worth taking a life over, is there some technicality where I should have gone to jail, etc.
No disrespect to this gentleman or anyone who has that ability, but that's not me. It's one of the reasons I don't own a gun and never will.
Shit is crazy everywhere...I just got a home security system....cameras all outside the crib...I find myself checking shit out before I head out to work because someone broke into the garage and got all my power tools....folks are hungry and want an easy score.
Man, I feel you.
The best thing you did was you kept trying and dealt with all the bullshit that comes along with being patient. Similar to you, I lost my pops last year along with a gang of other shit afterwards.
I felt like all the suffering I was going through was necessary no matter how much I didn’t like it. It got to the point where I like like “fuck it! It is what it is, but I ain’t going to stop trying.”
Like I got the fuckin point that life was trying to make. I ain’t got no control of this shit and I’m going to suffer from time to time. I get it! Now, leave me alone for a moment
But for real. A lot of new perspective was developed over this new transition in life. I learned a lot about myself as well. Even though we had to go through this shit, I hope we come out on the other side a better version of who we was before. Or at least a wiser version.
And that's perfectly fine. You know you. Not everyone should own a gun. Some people need others to defend them. Such people need to then concentrate even more on awareness. Even if you know how to fight and are armed, awareness is always number 1. But people such as yourself just have to be that much more careful.
It's better to admit it like you do as opposed to trying to act tough.
