Gig work is a dead-end for its laborers. People with non-gig jobs - even "shitty" ones - actually have career advancement opportunities. They can leverage their qualities and hard work towards greater earning potential, rather than having it get wasted. Nothing like that exists in the gig space and that's by design.

- motohagiography 5y agoGig work gives workers in crappy jobs personal leverage because they can always find work if they need it and don't have to take abusive situations. The real reason institutionalized people are against gig work is because it makes individual workers less dependent on those who exploit them both financially and politically. If someone offers you everything but dignity, I'd recommend checking their bone fides. That's some pretty 2015 lingo though, but I'm hep to that. :)
