Be Your Own Boss? 🛵

The 'Gig Economy' (Uber, DoorDash, Upwork) promised freedom. No boss, work when you want. But critics call it 'Precarity' (instability).

Gig workers are usually 'Independent Contractors', not employees. This means: No health insurance, no paid sick leave, no minimum wage protection.

It is the 'Uberization' of work. While it offers flexibility for side-hustles, for many it is a grind with algorithmically controlled wages. The debate is: should they be reclassified as employees?
