The gig economy and zero-hours contracts have changed the nature of poverty in Britain. Poverty statistics do not take into account people going for weeks without pay



"Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end."
-- Virginia Woolf




"Successive governments have completely swallowed the 'entrepreneurial society' propaganda spouted by neoliberal economists. As a result, laws and regulations that protect the permanent workforce don’t apply here. Not even the minimum wage. Clearly this has been exploited by employers."

動態消息貼文

Joel來談日本

1月4日晚上東京澀谷的道玄坂聚集了約50輛機車與腳踏車。Uber Eats的外送員們緊盯著手機，等待著所謂的「鯨魚」訂單出現。
這一現象的起因，來自1月2日深夜在X上的一則貼文——「公開釣鯨攻略！」。
由於Uber Eats的訂單分配由系統自動進行，當有訂單產生時，平台會根據外送員的定位發送任務，包括配送地點與報酬。外送員可以選擇接受或拒絕訂單，而當訂單長時間無人接單時，本來僅數百日圓的報酬可能暴漲至數千日圓。這類高額訂單在外送員就被稱做「鯨魚」。
這則貼文指出，只要在某家拉麵店門口等待，並持續拒單，就能高機率釣到「鯨魚」。貼文的真實性無從考證，但據一名長期在道玄坂活動的外送員表示，從1月3日起，外送員開始聚集，甚至有來自外地的機車騎士特意「遠征」來搶單。
這名外送員幸運地搶到了一張「鯨魚」，送往約3公里外的目黑區，隨後又接了兩張高額訂單，在短短兩小時內賺進1萬8千日圓。但他坦言：「也有不少人一張『鯨魚』都沒搶到。」
部分外送員為了追求高額報酬而集中在熱門區域，也導致一般訂單的配送效率大幅下降。
埼玉縣草加市一名經營居酒屋的老闆表示，1月6日晚上7點多，她收到一筆訂單——特製豬丼，內含加量的肉、大份米飯，還有起司與蔥花等配料，總價約3500日圓。然而，1個半小時過去，卻無人接單，結果食物放到變冷。
她聯繫客服，但電話線路繁忙，等了30分鐘才接通。就在這個時候，離接單已經超過兩個小時，訂單自動取消。客服表示：「外送員數量不足，您的營收會正常入帳。」無奈之下，她只好將這份餐點留到隔天與孩子們一起吃。
她提到，外送延遲的情況自去年聖誕節開始頻繁發生，今年1月甚至連續三天訂單被自動取消。她無奈地說：「做料理是為了讓顧客開心，這樣的情況真的讓人心灰意冷。」
一名擁有6年經驗、累計完成5000筆以上訂單的外送員分析：「問題的關鍵在於報酬計算方式的不透明性。」
Uber Eats的報酬由演算法決定，考量因素包括配送距離、預計所需時間、當下的外送員數量等。然而，詳細計算方式從未對外公開。
2023年12月2日，Uber Eats修改了部分報酬計算機制，雖然官方聲稱「總體報酬水準未變」，但許多外送員卻感受到收入下降。當基本報酬降低，而高額訂單偶爾才會出現時，外送員自然會挑單，其實是一種變相的罷工行。
過去，「零工經濟（Gig Economy）」被視為自由工作模式的代表，外送員可以根據自身需求靈活接單。然而，這種自由選擇權，卻也讓整個配送系統變得難以控制。
Uber Eats承認，去年年底確實出現大量訂單延遲與取消的問題，官方認為主要原因是訂單需求遠遠超過了外送供應量。將持續優化服務，以達到最佳平衡。
演算法的不透明性，導致外送員產生疑慮，甚至引發市場失衡。Uber Eats的計算方式過於黑箱化。最後受害的，是餐廳與消費者。當餐點無法送達，店家損失的是食材與營收，顧客則承受不便。Uber Eats的確有責任向外送員提供更明確的報酬計算方式，並確保平台運作的公平性。

Description[edit]

Gigs travelling at night would normally carry two oil lamps with thick glass, known as gig-lamps. Gig carts are constructed with the driver's seat sitting higher than the level of the shafts. Traditionally, a gig is more formal than a village cart or a meadowbrook cart. A light gig can be used for carriage racing. OED gives the date of first known reference to a horse-drawn gig as 1791.
