So almost $4B of their losses were were from stock costs to employees. All hell might break loose if the drivers ever found out how much Uber employees made/make!
I don't think so. Drivers are looking for short-term opportunities that are mildly rewarding. I think they already faced the reality that making $25,000 a year to drive around and get to meet and network with people is a better fit for them than a factory job or fast food work. I don't think this fits the profile for all of them, but I also don't think they compare their jobs to IT employees and would only be bothered by it if there was an opportunity to unionize behind it to see some benefit.
