...have rideshare drivers guilt-tripped you about working?
Or is this just some kind of reflexive response?
If the addition of a human per se produces guilt, I want to gentle suggest that work on boundaries is in order, and that no amount of automation is likely to fix the underlying problem.
It's OK to meet your wants and needs (such as getting some work done - a want I think nearly all of us share, many of us somewhat compulsively) in the presence of other people. No shame in it.

- phillypham 2y agoThis is just (neurotypical?) human programming to be considerate of others. The driver feels this, too. I'd assume that the CEO of Uber Dara can manage his emotions and boundaries, well.
