We would love to hear your feedback!

We explore new developments in the gig economy landscape, from testing out Amazon Flex after a long absence to examining DoorDash's push for "portable benefits" legislation similar to California's Prop 22.

• Completed a $107 Amazon Flex route after finding Walmart Spark deliveries too slow
• DoorDash emails promoting "portable benefits" that would provide healthcare, PTO, and retirement options without employee classification
• Introduction to the Gig Spot app for mystery shopping with tasks ranging from $9 gas station audits to $65 apartment shopping evaluations
• Discussion of a California gig worker earning $2,700 in one week, with $1,759 coming from Prop 22 adjustment pay
• Reddit story about a driver holding a passenger's keys hostage for an increased fee, eventually resolved with police intervention
• Brief look at whether mystery shopping gigs provide comparable value to food delivery for similar pay
