    This style of star rating is so common but so unintuitive. Hate it.

      It's because it's devised by business school idiots who never had a course with something like a 47% class average that gets curved up.

          Love em - “you got a 49%, you pass!” “I straight up learned nothing and had the mental pressure of failing the entire time”

    The only time I've given less than a 5 star to a Lyft driver homeboy was driving like a maniac on i80 while talking to me about how excited he was to move to Clearwater and then answered a call from his girlfriend and had a very sexually explicit conversation with her.

      Yeah every worker I have to review gets 5 star rating unless they like, spit in my face idk

      I also don't report mistakes or get refunds unless it's like, I paid and got close to nothing

        I undersold the "driving like a maniac" it was the least safe I've ever felt in an Lyft and I'd been in one with broken seatbelts lol.

      Someone would literally have to shoot me in the kneecap to make me leave a less than perfect review. You can't trick me in to giving management an excuse to fire someone. It's so frustrating. Just pitting the little people against each other.

        It’s so stupid though because if I were developing a customer survey system, I would automatically throw out all-5-star reviews because they’re very clearly fake and/or worthless. Which makes lots of people think you have to throw in a couple 4 stars so it looks real.

      At one of my old jobs, the yearly review system for employees consisted of different categories like communication, finishing assigned tasks in time, etc. on a scale of 1 to 5.

      Supervisors were forbidden from giving any worker a 5 in any category because "there's always room for improvement." I always thought it was horseshit because what's even the point of having a 5 in the first place?

        That’s dumb as shit but is also how I internally think of rating things, on a 5 star scale a true 5 is basically unachievable, it’s kind of an asymptotic approach towards 5, but I round up and call it a 5 at a certain point because otherwise that’s just a 4 point scale

      I'd identify something about the fabric or the weave or else the people doing the laundry will get blamed somehow
