But we can't forget about the cons as well. Gig workers are essentially both the employee and the employer. They provide their own material or equipment to be used for their jobs. They are the ones to take care of employee benefits like healthcare insurance. Legal expenses are also their burden. One of the biggest factors of being a gig worker is its instability. Unlike employees, you are not contracted for a long time. So if you fail to find a job for a certain amount of time, you will not be earning anything.
Is being a gig worker worth all the cons mentioned? or do you still find being a traditional employee more appealing?
There is always a value of every job and when working not as an employee, there are times when they get dismissal after not getting the results as desired.
A work system like this does not have stability and there are times when we get a much bigger problem and if it fails we won't get anything.
The level of distress may be different from the work system model you mentioned, as an employee may be a little safer but not with the performance worker.
Choosing as an employee might be much better because it can be much easier and there is no greater challenge compared to performance workers who have a greater risk.
