Probably give him the 5 stars if he provided timely and polite service. No tip, but obviously he needs the reviews and cash if he’s asking, no sense in trying to hurt the guy.

Why is it bad to ask?
Honestly - if it was a typical ride, and you don't give a driver 5 stars, you're kinda a dick.

4*. I dock one star for soliciting.

Say you don’t have change but will give him/her 5 stars. When you’re out of the car, give him 1 star and write what he asked you!

Can we talk about how damn millennial the world has become where basic service = 5 stars. /rant

Just the tip. And I don't mean $$$

Kpmg1 - what's the benefit of giving someone less than 5 stars? They're cab drivers who need a 4 star rating or they get kicked off the job.

Yes, EY1 - good call docking someone who isn't making a living wage.

He’s advocating for himself. That’s what you do in any job. Give him 5 stars and tip if you want or we’re planning on it. I personally don’t usually tip on uber

like

If he was on time and no issues with car and driving he owns 5 start. But tell him not to ask for it next time that brings these kind of conversation and end up in bad feedback.

Good call EY1

Ignore them and give them what they deserve.

For those in favor of tips, do you guys say to your partner “Please give me a 1 rating and an x percent salary raise?” Without any backing evidence???

like

Uber drivers barely make minimum wage. It’s ok to support your fellow drivers once in awhile.

like

5 stars and 20% tip unless they seriously piss me off. They make way less than you. Just consider it your good deed of the day and move on.

like

Also report to Uber

like

Say “You want tips? Drive for Lyft.”

like

"Stay in school"

“Four stars and tip or five stars. Your choice. Had you not asked probably would have given 5 Stars and a tip.” I usually tip Uber drivers but asking for it is too much.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
