Can someone explain to me why people are so compassionate towards Uber drivers (gig workers in general)?

    Those stats make a lot of sense

    My question is: If quality of work in Uber is so low why those people would rather change Uber's policy instead of changing jobs to something that's actually a job not just a side hustle

    And I guess this thread answered it by saying most of Uber workes work for Uber bc that's the ONLY job they can have

    My questions in OP should probably be: Why are people working for uber if they can work as real employees in McDonald's

    And answer If I understand correctly is: they can't even get a job at McDonald's

    Perhaps the stigma associated with 9-5s and the low quality of life working fast food in general?

    I'm not an employee but i would assume the ability to pick your own hours is the main draw. Its soothing you won't be able to get from most employers

    Uber isn’t the only job a lot of these people can get, especially now when people are damn near hiring people just for showing up to interviews because employers are short nationwide. A lot of folks are just lazy and don’t wanna do s***. I was like that when I was doing DD years ago. It’s easy driving around and people would rather make money doing that.

  • I don’t even know what you’re talking about.

    It’s not hard to make bank off doordash/Uber/instacart. Especially when u use multiple at once.

    People have been campaigning for higher minimum wage for fast food workers for a while now and have been successful with that in some places

    And people are always campaigning against and talking about the conditions in Amazon factories

    Disproportionate compared to how many work those jobs
