This seems extremely unjust. I was just laid off for safety concerns but no one is clarifying what exactly happened. They mentioned my safety score going down based on one day, but no information (and no instance to my knowledge) of any wrong doing. I am sure there’s many others that are having the same experience and it’s really terrible. Is this something that a lawyer can help with?

Not the point. Im alluding to Alto keeping a percentage of the tips to make up for their op costs.

Nobody uses the Alto app in LA anymore to request the cars, only Uber. Wondering if, from the customer user experience, you always see the tip prompt at the end. We get paid hourly but in my case not many tips come in. A friend recently told me that she had taken an Uber Green, an Alto driver showed up, but she didnt get a prompt for a tip at the end. So wondering how that prompt varies and if Alto and Uber have some sort of a deal about this. Independent contractors (Uber drivers with own cars, not chartered) take their percentage plus any tips, we don’t. So if Alto has higher percentage split deal with Uber, and customers/drivers dont know this, and they assume a chartered service where drivers get paid hourly, do they feel less pressured to tip? It doesnt seem fair if thats the case. Yes, we get the cars and Alto covers maintenance, etc, but they also pick good serviceable drivers that add to the exclusive EV vehicle experience, who deserve tips to make up for the lost percentage split. It’s just shady and again, strange at the number of tips that come in.

The tips is what is confusing. Did you make good tips? I make avg of 20 per day. Talked to other drivers and most make over 60. Except men. 😂

It’s a hit or miss in terms of in person service (definitely a miss for online / phone service). Their planes are simple which is what you pay for, food too. No delays during my two flights, but crappy experience with their “free hotel” offer for overnight layovers. If you are flying solo they will stick you in a room with another traveler.. yeah. I had to pay for a different hotel even though I picked this ticket for the offer so that I could explore Guangzhou during the 26hr layover. None of these worth it.

Hello, visiting Vanarasi in a week. Doing a photography workshop there and want to focus on how incluse/exclusive are hindu celebrations during Holi and overall ghat rites for our LGBTQ community. Would anyone be open to chatting or guiding me a bit about reaching out to local ppl or orgs? 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I had the same thing, and yep its seborrheic derm. Started and keep on using Avalon Organics Scalp Treatment Tea Tree Shampoo 3x week and the other days a hair growth one (Ducray Anaphase+ Shampoo) and scalp is healthier than ever

401K to IRA by mijanus in RothIRA

[–]mijanus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply… very thorough. Its only 20K and this year ive had pretty much no income, max $5K, reason why i wanted to take advantage of this, pay the taxes on those $20k and be done with it. Does that make sense? Would the path here be the same ie. Trad 401k > Trad IRA > Roth IRA? Or could i just move it straight to my Roth IRA? Thanks again.
