Out of touch. Imagine trying to tell your landlord or the grocery store they'll get their money in 30 days, and by the way thanks for the food!

- do_not_redeem 2y agoYour friends are not the ones I was calling out of touch. The company in the OP set up "a new payment system" without warning to their workers, and now people are getting paid 30 days later than previously agreed upon. If you think that the average person won't be impacted by not getting paid for a month, then yes, I stand by my statement.

- hamandcheese 2y ago> but they aren’t being charged to get their money. They literally are. The deal was altered so that what used to be free now charges a fee.

- wing-_-nuts 2y agoWe're talking gig workers here. Can you not imagine someone on such apps might be living under tighter constraints than a well paid software engineer paid once a month?

- hamandcheese 2y ago"Gig workers" have less consistent hours, and are probably much poorer than your monthly salaried friend. Picking up some extra shifts to pay for unexpected expenses is a sad but common reality. Charging them a fee to not wait 30 days is definitely exploitative.
