While Mr. Teo's story of earning over S$8,000 in a month as a food delivery rider is undeniably impressive, let's not overlook the bigger picture here. Yes, his perseverance is admirable, but it's time we address the elephant in the room: the gig economy's systemic exploitation of workers. Sure, Mr. Teo's success is a testament to his hard work, but it shouldn't distract us from the fact that many gig workers are struggling to make ends meet, working grueling hours for meager pay and minimal benefits. His story shouldn't be celebrated as a norm but rather viewed as a stark reminder of the inequalities within our society. It's high time we advocate for fair wages, job security, and better working conditions for all gig workers. Let's not allow one success story to overshadow the urgent need for systemic change. #FairWages #GigEconomy #IncomeInequality 💰
Absolutely right, systemic change is crucial!
Happy for him.

6moNo offence to gig economy jobs. They do bring food to the table. But we need to ask ourselves. Are we sacrificing the higher needs such as career aspirations, need for continual learning for short term goals?
