If you don’t understand this, you get to go to a free re-education camp! :yes-hahaha-yes-l:
Working for less than minimum wage because you are a contractor, awesome. Cool. Thanks.
“Here’s your Doordash order….”
It’s more of a neofeudalism IMO.
Having done that shit for a little while it does feel like a next level of exploitation (which it is) but as porkrollposadist pointed out it’s the return of piecework. It’s just a more naked form of coerced exploitation than wage slavery.
It’s called being an entrepreneur is what I’ve heard
I drove for a few of them for awhile and they’re so sleazy in so many ways. Like they partnered with both car and rental companies and try to get so many people further indebted by enticing them with terrible offers for leasing cars or renting them. They also are opening up their own line of credit cards and shit now. They want their hands into every aspect of the drivers lives to pidgin hole them into being extremely dependent on them for something that is marketed as “independent contractor” and “be your own boss” garbage
All while they can deactivate you over customer lies and pretty much any reason they see fit. Or just automated errors even
I expect we will live to see true neo-feudalism in our lifetimes. Company towns with private law enforcement, special passes for who can enter restricted private land, company scrip and company owned housing.
