The gig is up: Companies like Uber, Lyft, Postmates and Instacart could run out of manpower as high turnover plagues the side-hustle economy

Jason Noorzai has worked for eight different “gig economy” startups and services since 2015: Postmates, Doordash, Grubhub, Amazon Flex, Uber, Lyft, Field Agent and Deliv.

“What I liked the most about these jobs is that they have a really flexible schedule and most of the ones I worked at pay good if you really commit to the time it takes,” says Mr. Noorzai. Uber Eats was the worst, he adds, because it offered the lowest pay and fewest tips.

Uber, lyft , & others are disrupters. They overturned the proverbial apple cart. They will always be able to find workers, as they r run by innovative, flexible leadership. business innovation disruption leadership industry future money driving Management workers

It’s not a side hustle. They have lots full of Uber and Lyfts waiting to pick up ppl at the airport - no one does that on a side hustle. These drivers joined the libertarian ideas that their companies spewed to kill good paying jobs. It’s karma.

Interesting that it says these companies are banking on self driving to end losing money. Seems it will be many years before we get there, still.

Pay them more. Problem solved.

Uber will soon join an ugly but exclusive club: Unprofitable companies worth more than $50 billionThis is Uber's central challenge as it moves from the cozy confines of the Bay Area, where venture capital and private equity firms fund futuristic projects, to the rigors of Wall Street populated by more risk averse mutual funds and wealth managers focused on financial performance.
