A few weeks ago my platform markets class professor said "Uber drivers hate other Uber drivers" & I haven't stopped thinking about it since
@susie_c so it's an assumption that all groups of employees hate each other, without exception?

Uber drivers are not employees.
@wycats -
@susie_c ok, all groups of independent contractors hate each other? -
They're economically at odds. If there's one gig & two workers, one worker won't get paid. There's no sharing.
@wycats -
@susie_c yes, in that case they'd be competing, but not every situation is zero-sum. -
@susie_c It feels like we don't share enough vocabulary about this topic to talk meaningfully on Twitter. Sorry for jumping in. -

@PompeiiDog@susie_c No definitely not. -
@PompeiiDog@susie_c I suspect I'm the one with insufficiently rich vocabulary here :) - 2 more replies

@mollypriddy@susie_c I don't understand the sweeping assumption. Where does it come from? -
-
@mollypriddy@susie_c Ok. Ratcheting down. I was responding to the idea that the observation could be made economically vs. empirically -
@mollypriddy@susie_c Empirically, it doesn't seem true to me. If it's a broader economic claim, what is the claim?
