Typical Travis, cheap as hell. He publicly said that people would join Uber for purely monetary gains, so he wouldn't want to pay them much. Back in 2016, he instructed his managers to A/B test packages to see how low a package candidates can accept. Indeed, "forced" is more accurate than "instructed". I guess nothing is wrong with Travis' MO. It's a free market anyway. It's just that I wouldn't bet my future career on him.
