Chapter 1715 Order
Adams, a hard-working African-American living in Washington, had just arrived at the company when the Christmas bell rang, but he inadvertently yawned when he walked into the locker room, only to fall into the eyes of the night shift supervisor, so his team became the last to leave the company.
Garbage loaders are not paid the minimum wage in the United States, but this job is definitely one of the lowest jobs in the country, according to the regulations, the garbage loader needs to work eight hours a day, six days a week, and the hourly wage ranges from thirteen to sixteen dollars, but if Adams does not work extra overtime, it will be difficult for him to support his family with a monthly salary of three thousand dollars.
The hourly wage outside of eight hours can reach twenty-four dollars, Adams does not want to change jobs, but his daughter is going to college this year, which can double his pressure, and naturally he needs to remain humble and docile in front of the supervisor, so as to be able to receive more overtime tasks as much as possible, so after he humbly and sincerely accepted the criticism of the night shift supervisor, jumped on the garbage truck and grabbed the handrail, ridicule and ridicule from colleagues, Adams only responded with a sincere smile, and this scene fell into the eyes of the night supervisor again, so the next week Adams was given the same treatment of being able to work overtime every day.
Working 12 hours a day, six days a week, Adams naturally makes Adams far older than his peers, but years of hard work have paid for his daughter's excellence and intelligence, and even applied for a trial operation spot on the Internet in his name as soon as Uber entered Washington, D.C., allowing him to not only use the latest smartphones, but also earn some extra money in his spare time.
Adams's car is not Mercedes, not BMW, not Cadillac, and it was a second-hand car when he bought it, but it is still powerful and responsive after more than ten years, and when he began to try to take a lot of orders, Adams also tasted the sweetness, and even felt that if he could become a full-time driver for Uber, maybe his job as a garbage loader would try to work less overtime.
When it came April Fool's Day, Adams grabbed an order from the address of the taxi administration, but he panicked.
He knows that the officials in the taxi management department are still discussing whether Uber is legal, and he knows that the media is debating whether Uber's entry into the seven major cities in the United States is illegal.
"BOSS, a driver in Washington, D.C., called for help and said he had received an order from the address of the Washington Taxi Administration......"
As a workaholic, he has obtained sufficient funds and a complete project development plan, and the technical support from Weizhi Technology has also made the development of Uber like a bamboo, and in just three months after it was launched, it has already had more than 3,000 full-time drivers and won the praise of nearly 150,000 guests. Nick had already come behind him, took off the headphones that the other party was wearing, and told Adams on the other side of the phone that he was Nick, the president of Uber, and that he was the president of Uber, so please tell me if you have any questions.
Still hesitating to follow the route indicated by the navigation, Adams was stunned for a moment. "What? You're that Nick from Uber?"
"yes, I'm that Nick. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"That's right, the day before yesterday, officials in the SAR announced on Twitter that Uber is illegal, and once it is verified that Uber's full-time driver does not have a taxi operation license, then not only will he be fined, but it is not even ruled out that the illegally operated vehicle will be impounded, so ......"
Remember, in the U.S., even if you get an order from the White House, you have to drive up and pick up the customer as you normally would, and no matter what happens, the Uber management team and myself are your solid and reliable backing, OK?"
Adams' heart warmed, and the throttle was slightly increased but still a little hesitant. "But in case ......"
"There's no whatever! Uber's lawyers are $1,500 an hour, and if you get injustice, you're going to be an Uber hero, you know?"
Nick's words touched everyone in the dispatch room, and the dispatch room burst into thunderous applause.
But Adams on the other end of the phone didn't quite understand, he only knew that Uber would be responsible for him, Uber's financial strength was quite strong, Uber's president was approachable, and Uber might give every full-time driver the protection it deserved......
Adams, who came from the bottom and had no higher education, was relieved, but when he arrived on time according to the address of the order, he was still taken aback by the big scene here.
Dozens of media were here, and the flashing lights made Adams, who was asked to get out of the car and accept the punishment, completely confused, until the officials of the taxi management department stuffed a ticket into his hand and announced that his car would be impounded, he finally came to his senses, and instinctively wanted to go back to the car and drive away, but the uniformed taxi management special services at the scene made his hands and feet cold and shivering.
"As the first fine issued by the D.C. Taxi Administration, Washington, D.C. will not tolerate any violation of the law, and we warn companies and individuals who ignore taxi regulations that any violation of the law will be severely punished and cracked down......
The official in the taxi administration on the TV screen quoted the relevant regulations and lashed out at Uber and his own "whimsical" Uber president, but Nick noticed that the voice of the TV host was left in the dispatch room because of the oppressive atmosphere, and suddenly laughed, jumped on the table with the back of his chair, clenched his fists and yelled at the staff in the dispatch room. "What? Are you all stupid? Huh? Just because of a $2,000 ticket, they're all dumbfounded? Hey, don't forget your duties, don't forget that you're still working, you're still working! If no one answers the phone here, it will be a nightmare for our chauffeurs......"
The Organic Spirit's dispatcher answered the phone and immediately raised his hand to report. "BOSS! A driver watched the news and asked if he needed to stop taking orders?"
Faced with the faces that were either uneasy, worried, or indignant, Nick suddenly remembered a sentence......
