Comment on A reminder that delivery apps are unnatural
squiblet@kbin.social 1 year agoI don’t fault anyone for driving for them. If the company was actually responsible and hired employees like a normal company and paid them that would resolve most of the issues. As it is the bad drivers and the pressure to deliver while not being paid that much causes problems for everyone.

Well I can say it varies from company to company. Doordash is the worst. I consider it the McDonalds of delivery services as far as the way they treat employees. I left there making less than $10 an hour.
Grubhub has treated me the best so far. They pay mostly fairly even without tips. Had to wait 6 months to get accepted by them though.
My biggest gripe is being 1099.
I will say that when I was working for Doordash they sent out a very fucked up, threatening survey. It was around the time the government started looking at them more so they were asking questions like 'If the laws change, would you be willing to work a schedule and have a boss?". The whole survey was a bunch of loaded questions and bullshit in that nature.
I do love the work. Honestly. I just wish it wasn't so hard on my car. :(

They used that survey for their bullshit “drivers LIKE being 1099” ads
