This is a really shitty situation but I'm not sure it's Yelp's fault. There seems to be a fundamental assumption that, by paying someone to make sales calls for them, Yelp takes on a sort of overarching responsibility for that person's general well-being. Is it just because Yelp is a big institution with deep pockets? Aren't the various governments bigger institutions with deeper pockets? It seems to me much more logical that welfare should come from the state, and that people and corporations should be free to enter into or exit from mutually beneficial economic relationships. The author proudly states that she doesn't rely on the state to care for her son, but why not? Wasn't she effectively relying on the goodwill of Yelp to care for her son?
