I hoped this would be an article about how Q bridges the gap between traditionally high-value employees and less glamorous roles.
Disappointing that the TL;DR is "They've got W2s! It's great, trust us!"
Reads more like an advertisement than any kind of blueprint for cultural improvement.

But seriously, it is nice that a company is raising the bar for some people in traditionally shitty jobs. Q doesn't deserve a whole press cycle over it, but it's still a net benefit. Playing it up more than that only serves to highlight the gaps between basic subsistence, comfort, and "fuck you" money.
