what i liked about the gig economy was having the freedom to get what i had to get done without being micromanaged. there is a large portion of gig workers who don’t want to be a standard worker because it cuts into that freedom. so i can see both sides of the argument but for me delivering food was a lot better than waiting tables. way too much stress serving and having management try to control you at every step in the day. so hoping this new trend doesn’t undermine something special about gig work. it was my main source of income while in college and it was perfect for that. i could sign in, make money and then go back home and work on what i had to get done, real jobs often are not flexible and kinda hold you back in life because you have less time to better yourself due yo requirements with work hours etc
