Gigeconomy fuck yeah how to#
I took 42 drops off one driver but felt absolutely exhausted so called office and explained and they let me go home for the day - I also asked to cancel my 6 days and go back to 5 which they also agreed.Īfter the lockdown is eased and some sort of normality returns there’s going to be a lot of unemployed people - I pretty much know that Amazon will already be scheming on how to maximise this opportunity (exploit the fuck out of it), knowing full well that with so much unemployment, workers aren’t going to complain about work load as there will be a queue off into the distance of people looking to step into their shoes.
Gigeconomy fuck yeah drivers#
Today I was support - where I don’t have a route but take excess drops off other drivers to help anyone struggling or just wants less pressure. UGT to allow platform workers to find answers to their. On a different note - I was asked by my boss if I could work 6 days a week for the next 3 weeks - I stupidly said yes as he called when I was in the middle of a drop and instantly regretted agreeing to it as I need 2 days off the physically recover. Spain: Tu respuesta sindical YA was created in September 2017 by affiliates of the Spanish Trade Union. The other day I delivered a bottle of wine to an address - the customer took a while to get to the door - she apologised as she’d just got out of hospital from chemotherapy and felt weak and out of breath - I had to ask her to produce ID which was heartbreaking as she said she had to get it from her bedroom upstairs which was a struggle for her I empathised with her and she understood I had to follow thru procedure but still - felt terrible having to enforce Amazon fucking cunts gestapo orders. Then they changed it so that it was mandatory for drivers to request ID no matter how old the customer looked.ĭuring this pandemic you’d think Amazon would have reverted back to the original driver discretion procedure - but no - we have to ask for ID - get the customer to put their ID on doorstep and ask them to step back 2 metres for us to then hover over ID and enter their DOB and name - it’s a total fuck on and very time consuming but if you get caught not following process off Amazon - you’re gone in a heartbeat. The most stupid process is AVD’s (age verified deliveries) - it used to be the case that the driver could use their discretion on whether the customer was over the age of 25 - if they didn’t then we’d ask for photo ID.
Nobody else has your best interest in mind, so you better. Then the economy went sideways, and people wanted to make them into 'regular' non-Gig jobs, and the politicians soon followed and tried to legislate them into. Unfortunately for California gig workers they screwed you over because unions were lining the legislators pockets. The 'Gig Economy Jobs' were never intended to be full-time, benefit-providing jobs - they were easy to get, low-wage jobs to help people monotone their idle time and current vehicle. Once customer has opened door we wave them off and move onto next drop.įace masks whilst delivering are mandatory now. And how the heck do you handle verifications and references when one candidate currently holds three jobs in addition to five other positions from the last. California has laws for the gig economy, the people you elected put them in place. We conclude that focusing on outcomes rather than on worker control is a more fruitful way to assess flexible working arrangements.We put parcels on doorstep, knock on door/ring doorbell then step back at least 2 metres. California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a sweeping new law that could force gig companies like Uber and Lyft to reclassify their workers as employees.From a report: The hotly contested legislation, Assembly Bill 5, dictates that workers can generally only be considered contractors if they are doing work that is outside the usual course of a company's business. We also find that workers have developed informal practices, tools, and communities to address these constraints. The severity of these constraints varies significantly between platforms, the formally freest platform presenting the greatest structural and cultural-cognitive constraints. We find that structural constraints (availability of work and degree of worker dependence on the work) as well as cultural-cognitive constraints (procrastination and presenteeism) limit worker control over scheduling in practice. What constraints do workers face when attempting to exercise this flexibility? We use 30 worker interviews and other data to compare three online piecework platforms with different histories and worker demographics: Mechanical Turk, MobileWorks, and CloudFactory. so yeah, its just not something that I and people kind of laugh about it, I feel like theres. Gig economy platforms seem to provide extreme temporal flexibility to workers, giving them full control over how to spend each hour and minute of the day. The gig economy promises short-term, flexible work.
