    I agree. Unfortunately many companies “value” their employees in the same way they “value” the privacy of their customers.

    “Transparency would make it obvious that our business model is based on your exploitation (e.g. DoorDash) and our goal is not fair compensation, but maximum profits for our shareholders… so instead of transparency we provide fruit baskets.”

      Labor power and data are commodities. Why treat commodities with respect?

      Oh but the fruit baskets are for our customers. You’ll be making them, not receiving them. And you’ll be expected to put them all together today, including going out and buying the baskets and fruit, on top of your existing assigned tasks, in the same amount of time since we won’t approve OT for this.
