A common misconception among California workers: if you're being denied overtime or meal breaks, it must mean you've been misclassified as an independent contractor.
Under California law, that's not necessarily true. The ABC test — established by the California Supreme Court and codified under AB5 — determines your actual classification regardless of what any contract says.

Over the last few days, a couple more "recruiters" have contacted me via #LinkedIn, both trying to get me interested in working as a contractor through their firms while at what is obviously a nearby office of Meta (Facebook's parent).
Neither included pay info with the job descriptions, so I asked. One has so far ignored me, the other replied with a number that's 40% below market, so I figure that's what they're trying to scrape off the top.
California's #AB5 exists to help identify market rates and these kinds of scams.
Please don't fall for them.

CW: Long thread/9
AB5 wasn't perfect - it swept up all kinds of genuine freelancers, like writers who contributed articles to many publications - but the response wasn't aimed at fixing the bad parts. It was designed to destroy the good parts.
After #AB5, #Uber and #Lyft poured more than $200m into #Prop22, a ballot initiative designed to permanently bar the California legislature from passing any law to protect "gig workers."
