As always with these things I think it's important to remember that for both the company and the worker, every situation is different. There are tradeoffs that both make when deciding to move from 1099 to W-2 and vice-versa. The implication whenever one of these companies, since as Managed by Q or Instacart, makes a move like this is they're saying "W-2 is the way to go and is obviously better". That is not the case. It does make sense here and I applaud them for being thoughtful and proactive.
