In this shed scenario, if the first 10 builders to come across the ad think it's unrealistic and either ignore the ad or try to negotiate and get rejected, they walk away unscathed and quickly take other higher paying gigs. With Uber, I believe ignoring or rejecting customers is detrimental to your ability to continue finding higher paying customers.
... But not detrimental to your ability to find other ride-sharing apps, or non-app methods of discovering customers...
- unishark 7y agoThis seems like a rather different direction of argument. The analogy had a known price before you decide. Allowing you to cancel without penalty wouldn't rate as negotiating anyway. Now you are talking about having to commit to work without knowing what you'll be paid (except in general terms presumably). There are other contract gigs where that happens, as well as full-time employment where that happens.
