Hahahaha, just a meme right?... Right?
I'm self employed (actually self employed, not delivery-fake-self-employed), and this is an unfortunate part of it. But I have a lineup of work at least 6 months in advance, and sometimes more, so it's never a surprise for me what's going to happen this month. That includes it not being a surprise this month will be less than the previous one.
I don't have someone telling me there's no hours for tomorrow, I already know February will pay me less, unless I pick up something extra. I also know March will pay less, because I'm intentionally not working for 2 weeks on my vacation.
My father runs a photography business and is usually booked out 2-3 months, but even with that he frequently has clients who fail to pay him or he'll drive to a location at the scheduled time 2 hours away and find a locked door and nobody answering the door or phone. Hazard of doing business with other small businesses I suppose
Same, except my company (of which I'm the sole employee) has a long term contract where I'm very comfortable so I'm paid pretty much the same every month. I've also got a few companies that I'll do a bit of off consulting work for when they need it. That's usually good for extra spending money at the end of the fiscal year if they have extra to spend and want to reinvest in their technology. I just got a couple of those invoices paid so Christmas is looking nice.
But, like you, I'm taking off a few weeks in the spring. I get paid nothing for that or sick days.
Nice, you doing something nerdy or creative or…?
I do workplace safety and hazardous materials handling and regulations. A lot of companies need that, but none but the largest need someone fulltime for it.
Ooh
Thank you for all your occupational safety!
The "fake" self employed is a reference to lyft/Uber/any other app that a big company runs and chooses what jobs you can get, and your pay etc. Making the "self employed" take all the risk.
Exactly. They should all be jobs, with contracts, insurance, etc.
When I worked for a phone manufacturer I'd so frequently get the Uber drivers who refer to it as their work phone, conplain that their work phone isn't working, etc. but always carefully avoid saying that their work is Uber driving. I'd kinda play a game of seeing how long they keep the charade up until they finally say that it's Uber driving
Well done on missing the point and being a nasty cunt.
Dropshipping isn't a real career and is categorically rent seeking behaviour.
Rent seeking isn't about paying rent, it refers to those taking advantage of a situation whilst adding nothing.

For self-employed? Absolutely not. But it's great paying your tax at the end of the month and putting "0"
Occasionally
Since my self-employed income is seasonal (the work is constant), I get to do that for around 9 months of the year. It gets old.
