The article, and study, refer to several kinds of jobs with variable pay including sales people who get commission.
The disconnect is hn users writing 3 full paragraphs about gig workers without apparently reading beyond the headline of what they are ostensibly responding to.
- boredumb 4y agoI'm sorry if I touched a nerve. I read the article and even managed to identifiy that they used self reported data to prove a narrative that conveniently aligns with a current proposal by the US federal government to classify contracted gig workers as employees. Again, absolute detachment from reality.
- harvey9 4y agoSelf reported data for "poor sleep quality, headaches, stomach issues and back pain." That's the normal way data is collected for those things in routine healthcare. We will prescribe drugs based on those self reports.
- j_walter 4y ago> We will prescribe drugs based on those self reports. Let's not get started about the US healthcare system and prescribing a drug for every possible condition. Lots of things can help those symptoms...not just drugs.
- harvey9 4y agoI'm in the UK but yes, we also prescribe physiotherapy and exercise based on self reports. My point was we don't always need an MRI to corroborate what the patient tells us.
