Tell HN: Homejoy fails and Handy.com miserably takes advantage
>Handy is offering a $1,000 bonus to Homejoy professionals who successfully register for the first-time on the Handy platform. Handy is the leading brand that customers trust to take care of their homes. Our independent professionals make on average over $17 an hour per job using the Handy platform, which offers them great flexibility in how and when they work. We hope that Homejoy professionals take us up on the opportunity.

- minimaxir 11y agoEr, that's not "taking advantage." "Taking advantage" would mean that the ex-Homejoy cleaners are being exploited to accepting the sign-up bonus. The cleaners are not being forced to work for Handy at a subpar value. And is a good offer since otherwise they would be completely out of work. What you are think about is "oppertunistic," which is not inherently evil.
