When will Free Now be ending the Half price medical work .Will it coincide with the lifting of the Lockdown .
-
More like what else will they try to discount to get the passengers back in the taxis. They're a glorified marketing company.
Remember more people working from home until they find a vaccine and pubs most likely closed until next year. Foreign travel cancelled too. That's the airport fukked.Concerts cancelled. I can't see things having any reason to improve. Not pessimistic just realistic.
I wouldn't be doing the HSE shite but plenty will.

Remember ... they make less from discounted work and nothing from the medical staff discount, it'll be removed as soon as it is "acceptable to do so"
Whatever about personal travel, companies are itching to resume foreign trips, they are losing a fortune, deals are not being sealed

It would probably be considered irresponsible for the banks or big companies to be sending staff overseas if they didn't have to for meetings.Turning up wearing masks and sitting two meters apart at meetings.People are learning to use technology like Zoom/skype.This has been a great trial of the technology.Irish employers have been reluctant so far but this corona mess has shown them what's possible.
I don't cover much airport work but the keshies will be back around town just like during the ash cloud disaster.Big bleeding jew faces on them.It's gonna be ugly.I hope it isn't but really can't see the upside to this.
Also remember we lost a lot of rank space to the LUAS that isn't coming back anytime soon.

Does the FN stand for Flookin Nuttin...only asking

Exerts from a mid April mail --
1.Why cant I filter Medical jobs ?
The app doesn’t have this functionality, unfortunately. You can request to be opted out from receiving these job offers at any time.
2.What will be the duration of the Medical discount offer ?
As the Covid-19 pandemic is still a developing situation, there is no set duration for the offer.
3.What is the exit strategy fort exiting this discount offer ?
As above. When the pandemic has passed, the booking option will be removed from the app.
4.Why is this discount offer not available in the Fatherland
ie.Germany and other markets where you claim to be industry Leaders ?
This discount is being offered in Ireland, UK, Spain, Poland, Italy, Portugal & Romania
5.Not in France --UBER the answer ?
Can you please clarify the question?
6.Can I see the survey details that led to the discount been applied ?
As the survey contains the personal information of multiple drivers, we are unable to share it.
7. As a Driver I feel entitled to said details as application of
discount destroyed the great majority of VIABLE work available,thus
eradicating MY INCOME !
-
Only one question I would have for them, and it's this
Why do you claim to be offering this discount to medical staff, when it's actually the drivers who are facilitating the discount under pressure to do so from F/N ?
-
I couldn't give two shits what they offer.The government is paying us to stay off.When the COVID payment disappears maybe then yis can have a good moan.The country is still in lockdown in case yis didn't notice. Just ignore the medical work if you insist on working.Fuk Freenow.It didn't take yis long to forget about the increase in commission.

I'm deeply touched by your concern SB, but for me the consequences of not working, as opposed to working are infinitely more stressful.,
I'm below cocoonable age, in good health, regular exerciser, non smoker, light drinker, all original body parts in good working order, annual health check, cardio check every 2 years.
Should the worst happen, I am ready to die, but hopefully will not go too gentle into that dark night. All material preparations have been made. My biological, and evolutionary, reason for existence has been fulfilled, i.e. 3 children, and 6 grandchildren to date, i.e. I have replicated my genes, which must be of reasonable quality as confirmed by my very existence. People who choose to use my cab, do so knowing the situation which exists, they must take responsibility for their own health as I do.

All the health issues you mention count for nothing bob I was a non drinker, none smoker, walked 10 5 days a week, and STILL ended up with a quatriple bypass

I accept the theme of what you say DM, but "count for nothing" is far too strong. Statistics will confirm that good health markers are a significant aid to survival.

None of which prevents you being a vector . I wish I had your confidence in the virus bypassing me, still , bills have to be paid. I wish you a long life.

Cheers Bob, some of us here will agree and some will disagree but you seem to have a very positive mind set which I admire

Inspirational at a time when many need inspiration, I guess.
