You can't just hand waive away a fundamental difference like that. From my conversation with some Lyft/Uber drivers they really treasure that aspect and they would rather quit if they are forced to be regular employees with dictated working hours.
- URSpider94 6y agoBecoming an employee doesn’t necessarily mean you have to work a rigid schedule. There are plenty of employees, like flight attendants, who bid on shifts on a periodic basis, and who have the opportunity to trade or add shifts freely.
- pembrook 6y agoI see you’ve never worked minimum wage jobs before. There are not “plenty” of unskilled jobs that allow you to set your own hours. In fact, all of jobs I had accessible to me before I had a degree had ZERO flexibility on hours. You were scheduled (rarely ever during standard 9 to 5 hours), and if you didn’t show up, you were fired. I would have happily taken a few bucks less than minimum wage for the ability to set my own hours and educate myself. Who are you to tell me I’m being exploited—-as you sit at your 100k+ computer job looking down at me.
