Please read the thread, it’s very likely that op is lying
Edit: Seeing the reaction to my comment, I should clarify that I don’t defend these companies by saying that.
Also, even if they call themselves whistleblower, as of now, absolutely no documents where shared with watchdogs group, so no whistleblowing has been really done. If you are feed up with working for an evil company, please contact some watchdog group and try to work with them to put proof of the evil action in the eyes of the public. Edward Snowden didn’t just said what was happening, he shared confidential documents with the public.
By just saying things you are either doing a disservice to the cause, or worse, you are actively trying to discredit these type of leak.
To be clear, I’m not saying that whistleblowing is useless or easy. It take real courage to risk it all to denounce abuse, crime and unjust or unfair situation. So that why I don’t like when someone is pretending to be courageous or not putting its money where its mouth is. Sorry for the broken English, not my native language, I hope you get my point.
No thanks. This sounds entirely plausible and he gig economy should be highly regulated. I want my stuff delivered, yes, but I want it delivered by somebody who isn’t doing it as a last measure to survive and it won’t get them out from the heel they are under.
We need whistleblowers like this. If you’re a software developer and see shady business practices, fucking say something. If not to your superior, then to an authority. Companies shouldn’t get away with this unethical behavior. If even one thing is true of what OP is saying, they should be fucking sued and forced to improve or die.
Yeah, the only reason “gig economy” workers exist is so companies can use clever lawyer buzz words to exploit workers. We already have delivery drivers, we already had cab drivers, we already had hotels and rental homes, etc etc.
But suddenly we have “disruptive” gig bull shit, because now its a “ride share” to avoid cab rules. The delivery person works for another company and is a weird psudo contracter because McDonalds isn’t going to pay delivery drivers to have downtime, etc etc.
Its ultimately just a way get around regular employment laws and exploit people to the max. Its stupid and its why at least for my part, I have not and will not every use these services.
Enter the tech-bro, app in hand. The tech-bro’s most absurd (and successful) ruse is “it’s not a crime, I did it with an app.” As in “it’s not money-laundering, I did it with an app.” Or “it’s not a privacy violation, I did it with an app.” Or “it’s not securities fraud, I did it with an app.” Or “it’s not price-gouging, I did it with an app,” or, importantly, "it’s not a labor-law violation, I did it with an app.

Might be the case, but I expect some things to be true, like desperation score and profit squeezing. I met call centre managers that were trying to optimise how little should workers spend without the call in progress, that might sound reasonable but they tried to ‘improve’ from less than 10s between calls already

I had no idea this was going on in the medical industry and also what the every loving fuck.

There the added difficulty of “real whistle blower, but changed the details so they don’t out themselves”.
