Great article by @ceodonovan on how five-star rating systems can get gig-economy workers fired unfairly https://www.buzzfeed.com/carolineodonovan/the-fault-in-five-stars?utm_term=.vpr99LeKJZ …
Hmmm. Curious what kind of external validation companies do to justify this. You'd think they're incentivized not to fire good drivers, no?

they're optimized for high turnover
-
but why? wouldn't low turnover be better? most high-turnover businesses aren't happy about it
-
could be a) they don't have any other good signals (I doubt this) or b) they can push drivers around
-
I don't know what percentage of uber/lyft drivers need fares to pay their car loan but it's not zero
-
good point, that's even integrated into Uber's setup
