Episode Description

We would love to hear your feedback!

We trade real-world stories that show how gig work can feel great one day and quietly punish you the next. We also break down the latest Uber, Lyft, Amazon Flex, and delivery news that could change what jobs we accept and how we get paid.

• watching Lyft bonuses return and why we need to check quests more often 
• receiving an unexpected Grubhub FTC check and what it relates to 
• learning the hard way to inspect BabyQuip returns before the next delivery 
• reacting to Uber exploring rides for kids ages 10 to 12 and why we would opt out 
• talking through Australia’s minimum engaged-hour standards and added protections 
• calling out Uber’s instant pay fee increase and who it hurts most 
• reviewing Amazon Flex large vehicle blocks and a flashlight update for night deliveries 
• tracking old Amazon Flex tip settlements and a quick detour into rewards promos 
• unpacking Uber Eats drone plans, robotaxi growth, and what Waymo market share means
