Oct 30, 10:21PM
It’s understandable when things change as fast as they do these days that it takes a bit for our ideas of how things work to catch up to how they actually work.

You’re right to be suspicious, but that’s… Read MoreGrubHub made closing arguments defending 1099 independent contractor model
