I believe you have that inverted: if your employer gives you a schedule (among other things), that makes you an employee.

- chrisco255 6y agoCorrect. But the point stands about being able to only work for one ride sharing app. How could they possibly cover minimum wage for folks without setting a schedule and requiring that they not be working for other apps at the same time?
- cool_dude85 6y agoHilarious stuff here. "Yes, I was wrong in my original post, I had it absolutely backwards. However, did you consider something totally unrelated?"
- anigbrowl 6y agoThis shouldn't have been downvoted. it's 100% accurate and the grandparent post's pivoting from one topic to another is a classic bad debate tactic.
- jawns 6y agoI imagine the reason it's downvoted is not because the point isn't valid, but because of the tone. From the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
- anigbrowl 6y agoWe're not obliged to accommodate bullshit. The above only works when everyone is participating in good faith.
- chrisco255 6y agoIt's not a pivot. I literally mentioned double dipping in my parent comment. At any rate, unless you are a salaried worker, you have to have a schedule so that minimum wage can be computed.
