COURIERS: Stop asking "How did we do?" every single time you deliver something.

If the thing was delivered, congratulations, well done on participating, have a sticker. No medal because delivering things is your raison d'etre, after all. It's what we pay you for.

Here is a piece I wrote some years back on how in the #GigEconomy #labor relations are made "technical" through #automatization and making them part of the #algorithms

This "making technical" obfuscates and masks the very real relations of power at the workplace.

Relations that affect what workers, in this case #couriers, do and how much they are paid, are made features of the software, making it harder for the worker to question them.
