Inside Travis Kalanick’s Resignation as Uber’s C.E.O.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/21/technology/uber-travis-kalanick-final-hours.html
Yes Windy ,. he resigned.
He was ordered to resign....
Not quite like some other jobs where as part of the hiring process. you sign a resignation letter.
These guys are never 'fired' per se.... they resign... voluntarily or involuntarily
Read my link... the two 'Messengers' sat with him until he did it.
A loaded gun was handed to him
Designed to 'save face' just the way you are presenting it.... Kosher
I don't read it that way

Thank you again. That's all I've been suggesting. It may be a bit much for a 1st timer, at least a 1st timer to the Dominican Republic.
.... please tell me who are the members on DR1 that spam for uber, ...you know the ones that on their first post sell you uber?......Doc......
Every single one who starts a first post by praising the efforts of Uber. You made a reference to it earlier and I didn't touch upon on it because it was not meant towards you, but I guess you may have interpreted it that way. You have close to 500 posts, so you're a member with history here. If you give praise to Uber so be it, but it's not every single posting. You participate within other threads without screaming out.....Uber! My reference was made to point out types such as Joe from Wisconsin who in his very first DR1 posting mentions Uber 600 times. There have been many of those. Seems like an ongoing barrage of commercials, and does weaken the legitimacy of the product among some. I'm not the only person to have noticed, that's why I compared it to the "I have a limited amount of 200 Iphones right now", or "Hello, I'm from Easter Island and interested in relocating to the DR."
...Sanpedro... every thing is good, nothing aimed at you or anyone else here......Doc.....
Its the same 3 members here who must be invested in the same cab mafia company. The say the most ridiculous things about Uber. Its almost annoying at this point. Who needs or wants to shill for a billion dollar company? Please! We like it because it just works and it isnt a headache. Furthermore when the taxista tries to charge you 300 pesos to go around the block while Uber wants the correct price of 70 pesos; its really a nobrainer. And please stop saying that uber would be difficult for a first time visitor. Maybe for a child but its laughable to say a grown adult person will have issues or that this first time visitor will be in area without a signal(My 1st time visitor friends who speak zero spanish used uber just fine). All of the tourist zones have very strong cellular service and wifi. Stop it and make better investments! *end of rant*
70 Pesos for a TAXI Ride ? Really ?
As in a CAR with 4 wheels, and 4 doors... and YOU are the only passenger , no sharing with strangers ?
I guess UBER is going to put the PUBLICO's out of business as well then..
You guys are on to something bigger than you think, i guess.

I will make a point of taking Uber out of SDQ next week, just for the hell of it. :smoke:
I will post a trip report
Yes it is especially when that scumbag youre in cahoots with is telling us 250 pesos to go the same distance in a brokedown 1994 Toyota Corolla. Whoooa technology really is amazing!!!
Here you go again. Show me where these 3 members have said ridiculous things about Uber. Go to the original Uber comes to Santo Domingo thread and see who supported Uber starting a year and a half ago.
These 3 members think for a first time visitor it is wiser to pay the few extra dollars to take the yellow shirt cab and be whisked away as soon as you leave the airport. There are a few old time visitors who rather pay the few bucks more to not deal with going upstairs and doing the Uber thing.
Get your facts straight buddy.......................
My concerns regarding Uber are publicly stated here. Nothing to hide. There is seriously nothing more or less to it. Were you this worked up when people that had CD collections were hesitant to make the switch to digital music? It may be a great service, but when you have people that are constantly shilling for it, or willing to fight for the death over their Uber app, and the hesitance of others to participate in using it.....it becomes a bit bizarre. Can't you just be happy using it for yourself? Why the need to push it upon everybody else?

Anxiously await, but please don't threaten me if I prefer not to use it. LMAO.
Look those 3 always reveal themselves so easily. Just for those who dont know I tried the yellow service company and the guy reserved to me didnt show. Always use Uber. It just works, its cheaper, and its reliable.
Why are you disliking every post that gives Uber a positive review? Youve done that since the service began. Dont you think thats a little weird. Thats a little more than oh im just looking out for the first time traveler.
