Interesting chart you shared around optimizing work for people. In the business book club I’m in we had a really interesting discussion around creating golden handcuffs for independent contractors since most of the members run their business through contract labor instead of employees. Even though there are some legal safeguards around this my experience is that too many employers of independent contractors are expecting full time work for very part time wages and no benefits. It would be great to see more of a safety net develop for “fractional” workers.

im long-term hopeful, short-term pessimistic on this! as of now we still live in a full-time work as default reality
