- ROTMetro 4y agoSociety made a bunch of rules about the employee/employer relationship. Society allowed business to use contractors to fill positions that didn't fall under that relationships, for example, to fill short term needs with contractors, or to bring in specialists that companies did need and couldn't afford to have full time. Uber decided fuck Society's contract/norms for the business/employee relationship, we are going to abuse the definition of 'contractor'.
