Interesting read - When algorithms dictate your work: Life as a food delivery ‘partner’
This applies to all aggregators - OLA, UBER, etc..
Key Perspectives
The Trap
- The illusion of guaranteed income while the variable incentives seem attractive initially
- Incentives riddled with a bunch of terms and conditions
Chasing Dreams
- Competition to be top performers
- Physical and mental costs of driving to complete those targets
- Average of 10 hours of being on the road
- A job that demands a large amount of time
Eating outside has costed my health very badly. In a way, this is not a sustainable business model. Until 35 your body will not show any problems. The effects will come up after 35.
This business model is a toll on workers and they are not prepared for any better next job. Doing a good job vs Live your day vs Work for a better tomorrow.
Sustainable business models vs Profitable business models vs Inclusive social growth is always a question.
I am scared if the algorithm starts measuring my time
- How long have you looked at PC
- How many lines of code written
- How many functionality worked
Life is too short to see everything through the same lens.
Keep Thinking!!!
