Teka Teka

When apps are gamified, workers rarely win (Part 1)


Listen Later

Got a food craving? Need groceries? Or maybe a ride? There's an app for that. In this special series for Teka Teka, we delve into the lives of food-delivery and ride-hailing workers in Metro Manila whose daily routine is dictated by an app. These gig-economy workers struggle with uncertain pay, indebtedness, the physical toll of chasing incentives, and the occasional challenging interactions with customers. Their stories reveal that in the Philippines, gig work is more than a side hustle – it's a full-time job.
