I hire PCB layout contractors. If I call with a layout job, and they decline due to being busy on other jobs, I eventually quit calling them. You could say I "blackballed" them, but really I'm just logically calling those who I have reason to believe will get the job done on my time frame.
Why is it OK for me to do this to a contractor, but not for Uber to?
- vkou 11y agoBecause you don't call them out for 30 minutes of work, put them on a 10 minute break, give them another 10 minutes of work, put them on a 13 minute break... And only expect to pay them for two thirds of the time they worked. You also don't have an automated system that broadcasts identical job offer to contractors, and is able to select whichever one answers first. I'm sure the McDonald's manager would love to only pay his employees for the thirty second increments where there are customers in the restaurant... But I'm assuming you don't do that!
