We're moving to an economy where a few major huge companies will do everything and hire contract workers (not full timers) to deliver services. :sadcam:
Uber and Airbnb are examples of service based companies where most of the liability and resources are put on the person contracting their services out. Because of this both of those companies have been able to expand globally exponentially over the last couple of years because they use YOUR existing assets (car/home) and don't owe you shyt in the way of benefits or severance. :francis:
Crazy thing is job prospects are so poor right now for many americans that they have no choice but to get hype over the prospect of making $20 a hour on short term contracts with companies like amazon. This + more robotics/automation will have shyt spooky in about another 20 yrs.

That scene from entourage where Drama says we will all be working for the phone company one day :francis:

This was cool especially after you got the hang of it. I was getting shifts 3 or 4 days a week and sometimes double shifts then one day I just stopped getting shifts because they had so many people. shyt made me mad b/c I was doing a great job. I didn't get a shift for like 2 months and then all of a sudden they wanted to give me days. :camby: Ain't nobody got time for that but I do still have the app JIC.

I DID IT TO TRY IT OUT. IF YOU MOVE FAST YOU CAN KNOCK A 4 HRS BLOCK OUT IN THREE.

72 BUCKS FOR 3 HRS AIN'T BAD. IT IS DEFINITELY BETTER ON YOUR CAR THAN UBER. I DROVE 68 MILES TO MAKE THAT. EQUAL MONEY IN DETROIT WILL HAVE YOU ALL OVER THE PLACE IN DETROIT.

i dont see how anyone can deliver all the packages inside of the block.

i tried this shyt earlier in the year and it was awful. the last time i did it they two FULL RACKS of packages, completely unorganized. first of all, i drive a mid sized sedan. my entire trunk, backseat, and passenger was full of packages. do you realize how much time it took to find the package once i even arrived at the address ?

have they gotten any better about this ? at least organizing the packages by street for you ?

the time before that they had me delivering a bunch of packages in downtown dallas apartments....do you know how hard it was to find a place to park ? then you had to put money in parking meters, traffic.....just a terrible experience

shyts a rip off as far as i can see.

The working and middle class will be devoured by technological advancement :yeshrug:

The new American middle class is in India :yeshrug:

TAKES TEN MINUTES TO ORGANIZE YOUR PACKAGES. SORT BY MC NUMBER AND PUT THE SMALLER NUMBERS IN A EASY TO REACH SPOT.

IF IT TAKES YOU 4 HOURS FOR YOUR BLOCK YOUR PLANNING IS OFF. I'M DONE IN 2HRS SOMETIMES.
