Target's Delivery App Workers Describe a Culture of Retaliation and Fear
- PragmaticPulp 7y agoThis feels like a remarkably flimsy hit piece. The core of the story revolves around a few gig economy workers being removed from the platform after posting negative comments on the company's 100,000 user public Facebook group. They don't share the exact posts that were removed, but we're supposed to assume the company was in the wrong. They also complain that the company's public groups are moderated to remove inflammatory comments. Not really surprising, as I wouldn't expect any company moderated forum to let venting and angry discourse run unchecked. This recent trend in journalism of finding disgruntled employees to criticize tech companies feels forced. If anything, it's going to become a "Boy who cried wolf" scenario where readers grow numb to the constant stream of iffy complaints against tech companies, to the point where the legitimate problems won't get the attention they deserve.
