    So… Full time then refers to 24/7/365? That’s ~8k hours, at that point I believe when they say they’ll earn 170k (or $19,40/h)

    Edit: fixed the math. Also let me clarify that this was a bad attempt at making a “delivery drivers are always underpaid and overworked, so the only way this works out is by them working literally every hour of every day for slightly above minimum wage” joke.

        Because delivery drivers are chronically underpaid and overworked, so I tried (and apparently failed) at making a joke.

        Edit: I also just now realized I made a super stupid math error. I really should sleep.

          Not if you have a Union 😉

          There is strength in numbers.
