It is so tough, like beyond just the general psychological toll of your rent being a gamified award, there is little reprieve. No vacation, no security at all.
I have had so many jobs, and being a GrubHub deliverer is perhaps the most alienating, and in long term, exhausting ones ive had. I used to think "well at least people can have flexible jobs, use their vehicles", but these days I just so no reason for labor to ever be like it for anyone. Its not a model that thinks about the actual worker at all.
- Mezzie 5y agoI did grocery delivery for a while, and I agree that 'alienating' was a great term for it. Yeah, it was 'flexible', but I was doing it for money, so I ended up on a lot of 12AM-2AM runs for college students who wanted booze, since payouts were based on a.) how many drivers there were and b.) the cost of the order and booze meant more $$$$.
