Lyft

California voters rejected Prop 30, which would have increased taxes on people making over $2 million a year to subsidize electric vehicle purchases for low-income residents, among other climate change fighting measures. Opponents claimed the measure would have been a huge windfall for Lyft, even though it wasn’t really clear how. It’s a weird result, considering the state’s voters handed Lyft (and Uber) a giant win by approving Prop 22 just two years ago. Why so fickle, California?

For anyone hoping to snag a job at their favorite pink-hued ride-hailing company, I’ve got some bad news: Lyft said it won’t be bringing on any new employees through the end of the year, citing economic instability. No lay-offs are being planned at this time, but the company has been trying to cut costs since this past spring. Maybe Uber is still hiring? (Probably not.)
