But what if for example, someone put all their money on Twitter stocks and then go bankrupt because of it? Is that Twitter's fault?
The driver took a big risk and expected a big reward, but that didn't work out, but it was his own decision. Personally I wouldn't buy a luxury car based on the promise of a startup, certainly not if I wasn't able to afford it to begin with.
That's why companies like Uber don't try to recruit people like you.
Most people have a very poor ability to assess and measure risk. These drivers see an opportunity to make money, and use that to get a loan to buy the car.
Everyone is losing here. The driver goes bankrupt, the metro area loses as Uber puts cabs and black cars out of business and takes business from public transit, and ultimately the investors since Uber tapes $10 bills to each ride.
As an employee at an At-Will business; I'm always potentially subject to being asked to take a lower salary, get fewer benefits.
Will I blame my employer for limited notice? Sure.
Does my employer have legal liability? Not in my state. Maybe for 2 weeks. If I hire the right lawyer, maybe until a "reasonable time to find a new job"
