The journalist didn't go into detail how Grab enslaved these people.

After losing his job, a friend leased a vehicle from grab, with insurance for grab ride-share and not other platforms. Within a few months, he was suspended because he cancelled a few trips. He seldom took grab, so he didn't know that he cannot cancel trips.

Grab-leasing continued to bill him until end of contract, but he cannot operate ride-share on Grab or other platforms. He appealed to Grab, went to their office to plead for another chance, but Grab hired thugs to manage the drivers.

In the end, our group of friends got to chip in money to bail him out.
 
Grab and Foodpanda is hell, high prices shit services, Deliveroo and Lazada much better

many eateries and fast food charges more when we order via these platforms.

therefore for larger orders, there are huge savings when we order take-aways

Since I drive, I prefer packing dinner home on days when my maid needs a break from cooking. I seldom use food delivery services.

That is basically predatory business practices. ..rent from them..sell for them..in the end the driver eat what?
 
i feel that platform work are not suitable for those with family. It is ok for single guy with a women-free life.

today i order grab food as i am not well. can't even walk out a step. I had flu -like symptoms due to over training.
 
The mentioned platform worker should do food delivery. The cost for maintaining an ebike or bicycle or even motorcycle is much lower than a car. If that is the case he might survive ok and even well.

Those who are resorting to gig work probably have few or no other option. They may lack the necessary qualifications, be too old following retrenchment or have a criminal record.
 
Rich ppl also owe loanshark. Friend neighbour landed property, run away from Singapore. Debtor throw paint over onto the car porch.
