No [Uber] driver-partner is ever told where or when to work. This is quite remarkable – an entire global network miraculously ‘level loads’ on its own. Driver-partners unilaterally decide when they want to work and where they want to work. The flip side is also true – they have unlimited freedom to choose when they do NOT want to work… The Uber Network…is able to elegantly match supply & demand without ‘schedules’ & ‘shifts’… That worker autonomy of both time & place simply does not exist in other industries. - Bill Gurley – The Thing I Love Most About Uber – Above the Crowd, 4/18 174
