The gig economy is way worse than the author describes.

Gig workers can't advance with the companies they work for.

Gig workers can't build a network with their coworkers because they don't have coworkers...and there's a good chance that they are competing for work with other people working for the same company.

There are dead end day jobs, and then there is gig work.

The whole concept of "hustling" is frustrating to me.

These days "hustling" = independently rich people trying to build an online following and selling ads/courses/get rich quick schemes/crypto scams.

The gig economy is real, back-breaking work. No "husler" has done a single day of food or package deliveries.
