When you play their game, they win. We need an organized collaborative effort to promote, grow, unify, and shape the future of the Gig Economy. DM's Welcomed.

@iamloyalty1978 @SamplePlease @Instacart Wait till they tell you they can’t talk to you about it because of privacy reasons. Meanwhile, no income, and no recourse. #InstaGuilty.

[HungerGigs @HungerGigs]

@SamplePlease @Instacart @workingwa @apoorva_mehta Was there ever any doubt?

Everyone can win! • Building a startup Gig Economy App (like @instacart @shipt and the like) doesn't have to be zero-sum game. There doesn't have to be winners (the company) and losers (the workers).

"When the driver queried why they hadn’t earned more for the job, an Instacart community support representative responded, “The reason that your batch incentive was low for this particular order is because of the tip amount.”"

We need more national exposure...

@MatthewGerstman @davecraige Old days... Repair man slaps side of TV, it starts working again, customer upset with $60 bill saying he could have done that! - Repair man replies, you are paying me to know WHERE to slap it. Some things really never change!!

Just thinking out loud here.

@jamieson Workforce abuse is becoming the norm. Take a look at how instacart, uber, and others are routinely manipulating and abusing app workers .

[HungerGigs @HungerGigs]

More workforce abuse.. It's rampant, not just in the Gig Economy!

[Dave Jamieson @jamieson]

This is wild. Delta flight attendants were about to reach their maximum duty hours while a flight was delayed, meaning they couldn't be forced to work more. So someone in the control center ordered the door to the plane be closed so they wouldn't walk off. https://t.co/4p6UOlwMx0

Why is it I see so many @DoorDash @DoorDash_Help customers complaining and having to waste time trying to get refunds or help with orders that aren't delivered? Just like with anything, if you pay for something and don't get it, contact your credit card company, do a chargeback.

Just opened DM's to all.

• When a tip is subsidized pay, it's no longer a tip, it's exploitation of the customer.
• When a tip is mandatory, it's no longer a tip, it's a fee.

[HungerGigs @HungerGigs]

@MatthewTelles @Instacart The problem with feedback or rating systems is they have always been abused. No one ever puts any effective safeguards in place for accountability, challenges, and appeals. Be careful what you ask for, it will more than likely get implemented wrong.

Here's what your @Instacart shopper does for you...

· Drives to store
· Shops your grocery list
· Waits in line to checkout
· Loads car with your groceries
· Drives to your home
· Unloads car and carries to your door

Did I miss anything?

[HungerGigs @HungerGigs]

@JakeVigdor @Uber >Is the gig economy sustainable?

Not in its current state. ...and not when you have leaders that don't really understand it, and just want to make money in the short term through exploitation and manipulation.

@veenadubal I actually tested once with a post.. I think it was like 97-98% - but hey.. maybe things have gotten better.

[HungerGigs @HungerGigs]

@veenadubal This just reminds me of the Tennessee Ernie Ford song sixteen tons... "I owe my soul to the company store"
