Subject: 九 Info: URGENT, URGENT - READ THIS NOW OR ELSE!!!!!

To: Uber Team

Hey guys, I wanted to get some important information out there. I've
put together a Q&A that we can use when other folks ask what we're
doing here, and have some DOs and DON'Ts for our time here in Miami.

You better read this or I'll kick your ass.

__________________________________________

Q&A - If I've missed anything, or you just have a random question,
please reply to all on this thread!

Q: What is Uber doing here?

A: Uber has recently rolled out to its 50th global city. We are
celebrating this company milestone and others and have organized a
local grassroots movement to help bring Uber to Miami. #MiamiNeedsUber

Q: What does the Chinese symbol 九 stand for?

A: 九 translates to the number 9. It is a symbol that has internal
meaning at Uber but is something we do not discuss externally.

Q: Is this an Internet bubble boondoggle?

A: It's a celebration of a major milestone for the company, as well as
a chance for us to hold a company-wide retreat and organize our
efforts globally. It's the one time that everyone in the company can
meet in person all the people we work with every day.

_________________

I have gotten a list of concerns from the legal department. I have
translated these concerns into a clear set of common sense guidelines.
I've also added a few items of my own.

DON'Ts:

1) No lives should begin or end at 九

2) We do not have a budget to bail anyone out of jail. Don't be that
guy. #CLM

3) Do not throw large kegs off of tall buildings. Please talk to Ryan
McKillen and Amos Barreto for specific insights on this topic.

4) Do not have sex with another employee UNLESS a) you have asked that
person for that privilege and they have responded with an emphatic
"YES! I will have sex with you" AND b) the two (or more) of you do not
work in the same chain of command. Yes, that means that Travis will be
celibate on this trip. #CEOLife #FML

5) Drugs and narcotics will not be tolerated unless you have the
appropriate medicinal licensing.

6) There will be a $200 puke charge for any public displays on the
Shore Club premises. Shore Club will be required to send pictures as
proof.

7) DO NOT TALK TO PRESS. Send all press inquiries to Andrew -
[email protected] Additionally, stay vigilant about making sure people
don't infiltrate our event. If and when you find yourself talking to a
non-Uber (look for the wristband), keep confidential stuff
confidential... no rev figures, driver figures, trip figures... don't
talk about internal process, and don't talk about initiatives that
have not already launched.

___________

DOs:

1) Have a great fucking time. This is a celebration! We've all earned
it.

2) Share good music. Digital DJs are encouraged to share their beats
poolside.

3) Go out of your way to meet as many of your fellow uberettos as you
can.

4) If you haven't figured it out yet, Miami's transportation sucks
ass. #Slang as many Miamians, drivers, influencers as you can as
passionately as you can and let them know why Uber will make this
great city an even better place. Every slang matters. #MiamiNeedsUber…

5) If someone asks to meet the CEO and Founder of Uber, kindly
introduce him to Max Crowley.
