[CITATION NEEDED] over at /r/greece and the original and subsequent message, there has been no such indication.
There is a screenshot of the original e-mail that the company sent here. They state that 'according to your batch, we estimate that it would be better to continue working as a freelancer', where 'batch' is e-food's internal rating system.
I have no idea how you may be aware of a company's internal information, but the greek article you linked does _not_ mention rating system names.
Also, but when using e-food there's no way to actually rate delivery people, only restaurants (like you claim above with "Negative reviews from customers...").

Besides, the article this very comment thread belongs to also says "Efood drivers, which the company claimed had lower ratings, received a message" so what are you arguing about exactly? You're shooting the messenger.
> Late on Thursday, Efood drivers, which the company claimed had lower ratings, received a message stating that, in the hopes of “increasing the productivity of the fleet” of drivers, and in the company’s “broader strategy,”

Unless... ah... yeah, eFood is here to make money, no to grow a work force... How could I forget :-)
People started writing negative reviews, starting hashtags, etc. without even being aware of the stuff I noted above.
- The email they sent was about ~100 of the 3,000+ delivery drivers that had a low performance rating.
- Instead of just terminating their 3-month employee contract at once, the company offered them the option to become freelancers (like their major rival, Wolt, does from the beginning).
- This also came after e-food found that some drivers were using fake-GPS apps that changed their location so that the algorithm didn't assign them many deliveries (of course, they were paid by the hour according to their contracts). Paying them by the number of fulfilled deliveries would help with identifying the ones that were slacking.
I am also against the uberization of all work sectors, but I think this just blew out of proportion through social media.
