[quote=Anonymous]Do you think in the future most employment will look like gig work where you are either always a contractor or the employer will only use you “on demand”? I have a friend who has one kid who just graduated college and another who is looking for summer work between his freshman and sophomore year. Both are finding that lots of employers want “on demand” work. Even something as simple as being an associate at Target is no longer simple. She said her son applied to be one and that they are only offering on demand/flex work for as needed employment. Her daughter got a job with a major company as a technical writer but they are paying by the hour and not guaranteeing how much work she’ll get per week even though she is a considered a full time employee. This with the recent writers striking because they don’t want to work in gig like conditions has me thinking that these situations will become more common. [/quote]
