“Bybee was surprised that Doordash asked her to complete the task instead of a restaurant worker who was already on-site… DoorDash's gig workers, who are independent contractors, don't receive the same employee benefits and hourly pay rate that most restaurant workers do”

“Bybee drove about two miles to a restaurant, picked up an order, and placed it in the Dot robot as it waited in the parking lot, she said. She took photos of each step to document the process, and the gig took five minutes, she said. DoorDash paid her about $5.”

So a whole lot of my talented Humanities colleagues are now unemployed as of today. A lot of understandable concern over Exeter. But for over two decades my Hums colleagues were in the top quartile for their research contribution to society. History top 10. Now gone with only a national whisper.
