About this listen

 This episode examines the hidden costs and challenges of gig work that often get overlooked in promotional narratives. Nick Ledger analyzes the "benefits desert" where gig workers lack healthcare, retirement contributions, and paid leave, while facing income instability driven by algorithmic management. The episode explores how rating systems create psychological pressure, platform dependency limits worker autonomy, and the illusion of entrepreneurship masks employment-like control. Topics include social isolation, burnout risks, tax complications, and the broader implications of precarious employment for workers and society.
