I'm following till "without any sort of punishment", there I'm lost. If I have a contract with a gardener that is servicing me for watering my yard, but then I also need to have my lawn mowed. If I ask him about providing this service and he declines, what's wrong with finding another gardener willing to provide the service I need?
- Haydos585x2 10y agoI agree with you but I wonder if a court might say it's more like hiring a gardener to water your flowers and then when he doesn't want to change your flat tyre you cancel the contract. At the end of the day though short term/casual contracts are cancellable. I don't think anyone wants a world where you can't get rid of contractors when you want or need to.

- SilasX 10y agoIn that specific case he might still be ruled a contractor, sure. But if you expanded the list of duties to be sufficiently large and indefinite ("gardening and whatever else I need"), then a court might rule that you have created an employment relationship and are responsible for providing various other benefits. So it would seem to favor the "employee" classification if Uber had a long history of "oh, and you also need to take these other requests ... oh, and support spotify integration now ... oh and you have to auto-accept requests before you're done with the current."
