tc: 😵
The narrative that drivers are being taken advantage of is toxic. Making them all W2 employees also denies them of a ton of tax benefits to run as a 1099 LLC. The discourse has been hijacked by people who have never even worked as a 1099 freelancer.
Working as an SDE contractor and an Uber driver aren't really that comparable. SDEs aren't routinely being paid less than minimum wage hourly without benefits.
Are you serious about less than minimum wage? All the calculations I’ve seen with that conclusion have been bogus where drivers are spending $100 per week to detail their cars, $20 on car wash every 3 days etc. If I drive for uber I’m washing my own car yo. Link a legit calculation and we’ll talk. If it’s really minimum wage why are there so many people still driving for uber as opposed to, idk flipping burgers at McDonald’s?
What’s really pathetic is that even flouting labor laws they can’t make a profit and probably cannot make a profit.
Your username and post title show quite a fascination for anything to do with 💩

Amazon the hardest FAAMG to get passed the 1st stage for software engineers?
Yes we need to instead focus on new phone colors every year and maybe have a 4 tier camera bump next time.
Still better than fucking up drivers and treating them like 💩
Same argument goes for your robots in Foxconn. Apple claims that they have a choice to work there, eg take it or leave it. In the absence of better opportunities the workers take it. Just because you offshore your menial labor to the other side of the world and out of sight doesn't make you more high and mighty.
