#ubi for #gigwork might be a stop gap for more general UBI, and could be packaged with a tax on gig tech companies like Uber? #politics

Cut my lunch shift short because friends were texting, "Let's go watch football!" This shift was insane. $30 in 50 minutes. 7 miles. Over $4/mile. Imagine if it were always like that!

Started out as an awful lunch shift. $8 order that should've been quick to a high-rise building with door security, the slowest elevators in the world, and no cell service inside. Not going back there! Turned around with a few great low-mile quickies. Average $21/hr. #doordash #delivery #gigwork

An order I actually took; delivered; got paid for - marked on my Acceptance Rate as 'Declined.' Along with another order that claims to have come through while I was on that delivery. Never got that offer. Two dings on my AR. Support says, sorry can't change your AR. #doordash #delivery #gigwork

Sure, platinum, platinum, platinum. I lost that when one horrid skank claimed I didn't deliver her food - I did - five point ding to my rating. But gold for the last two weeks, and I'm averaging more $ per hour than most days while I was platinum. #doordash #gigwork #delivery #platinumdasher

I couldn't believe how crappy dinner was tonight. Three hours, barely averaged $14/hr. Why? Because out of three hours, a full hour was down time! GGGGGRRRRRRR!!!!!! #doordash #delivery #gigwork #shitorders #decline

DD sent me to completely wrong location. Had to use Waze to get there. Customer did not answer door, text, or call. Was supposed to be a PIN. Had to call Support to leave food -- system thought I was not at location. What are the odds this gets flagged? #doordash #delivery #gigwork

$/mile; or $/hour?

Today: $36.05, 1.66 hours. 38 miles. Only $0.95 per mile! But 38 miles - that's about $6 in gas. So $18.07/hour after gas expense.

Yesterday: $44.20 in 3 hours. Only 27 miles. $1.64 per mile. About $4 in gas. So $13.40/hour after gas expense.

Stellar AI, which paid $25/hr for AI training work, has closed. Former contractors can still log in to request their remaining balance. The notice gives no end date for logins, so do it this week.

Why doesn't 'Don't Switch Zones' ever work? DD drags me out of my zone. I prefer to work closer to home. I click DSZ. The next order offer will take me even further out of my home zone, deeper into that other zone. I just told you...!!! #doordash #delivery #gigwork

Can't get 2 good shifts in a row. Mostly my fault. Accepted offer going 10 miles, $17.95, rush hour. Next was 2 pick-ups/1 customer. In one of those prison-like luxury high-rises. Different 6-digit code for each elevator. Gives me a list of codes. None worked. Done. #doordash #delivery #gigwork

These are the items I need for my bicycle to LIVE! I can't do gig work without it so any help to lower the cost so my husband doesn't have to take all the brunt of it financially and I can start sooner would be wonderful help!

When two riders see different prices for the same route, “dynamic pricing” can hide who benefits. If drivers can't see the math either, whose market is it? #GigWork #Fairness

When an app’s rating quietly decides who gets the next shift, customers become untrained managers and workers inherit the risk. Who can appeal a star? #GigWork #Justice

This is the messed-up baseline.

Academics are now pressed for time more and more as universities fail to replace those who leave. As full-time jobs are replaced by gigwork (adjuncts). As salaries stagnate and professors find side-gigs to pay the rent.

we need walkmans that run on little sd cards which have maybe one record or maybe an entire catalogue on them. who cares. let the artist sell it and you can have a little physical library instead of spotify and the zoomers will eat that shit up with the nickels they have left over from gigwork

🚨 DoorDash says its $131.5M settlement is “very specific and unique to NYC.”

But what about Alaska? Did similar payment problems happen here? 💰

And if your numbers don't add up, what can you do?

Gigwork or side hustles maybe? Def not meant for the standard 9-5. Maybe Duke Weaselton was just misunderstood and took the only work he could 😥 eepy at heart
