not simultaneously, or even interleaved in 30 minute increments.
- bluntfang 7y agoAs someone who has the ability to work 2 tech jobs if I wanted to, I could context switch every minute if I wanted to due to the technology allowing me to do so. Why should other people be unable to do this if the tech is there to support it?
- thenewnewguy 7y agoYes, but this is due to the fact that most jobs require your physical presence, Uber does not.
- jppope 7y agowhich is actually an argument that they are not employees.
- lawtalkinghuman 7y agoTIL: on-call doctors are not employees.
- nosianu 7y agoNo it is not and never was. Sales people - going back a very long time and include fully traveling ones - are not employees? How about traveling service technicians, not infrequently located all over the country, far from any company office? Home office - not uncommonly full time even, e.g. the company I work for does not even have an office but people employed all over this and other countries - are not employees? Please don't arbitrarily redefine "employment" to make your point.
