'While I need money, sometimes those horrible deliveries and the pay are not worth it.'
Note: Some responses have been edited for length and clarity."I do dog sitting as a side gig. I work through an app, but most people just recommend me to others because I LOVE dogs! I got a gig through the app and a woman and her dog were awful. She wanted me to give him only sparkling water, sit next to him while he ate four times a day, and spend pretty much all my time at her place. Her dog was very low-energy and not super cuddly.
"Then, the next week it was another problem. The thing is it felt like I was a full-time employee supporting the project anytime the client needs me to because I have to respond asap to any issues he faced, my fault or someone else's. Long story short, it felt like an on-call support arrangement and I got paid for the actual hours of work, which is 1-2 hours per week on average.
Now, to get out of the deal, I just gave up and planned on giving his money back. Lesson: If you are looking for a side gig to earn extra money using these online gig websites, it may cause more time and stress than your day job. I think because employers here don’t have enough cash, they will squeeze you for every penny that they pay you.""I'm a former teacher here who needed a second job to pay high winter electricity bills. Picked up a job delivering food.
"Thousands of money owed for emergency room and specialist visits. Ultimately, I had to quit another second job because my foot hurt too bad if I was on it for too long. Finally healed but I owed other medical bills to figure out if abnormal test results were related to the injury.""One night working a flexible package delivery service gig job, I looked into the weather and noticed it was supposed to be a cool and non-rainy night for delivery. My shift was 5:45 pm-10:15 pm.
Again, I broke down. I just wanted to get into the complex to deliver the package. Finally, some sweet older lady finally let me into the complex after seeing how upset I was. So I drove down to the house and the person was there waiting on their porch with the light off for their package. I tried explaining that it took a lot to get them the package and if they could please answer when the company I work for calls next time that would be great.
