Description

I drove 2 hours from home to work 2 shifts hired by a company through Instawork. I worked my morning shift then I waited for 10 hours at a local park then returned for my evening shift. There was no service so the company was reporting hours worked. Once I regained service (30 min away) I got a notification my shifts I already worked were canceled. I contacted Instawork, they ignored me then banned me from working through the platform, I persistently inquired and after nearly 2 weeks was told it’s in the contract that the company can cancel and that’s just how it is. I persisted with every question I had in my confusion than as I researched people I’d worked with and reviews and their refusal to protect their employees as well as the partners (as they call them) I discovered this is a common practice of theirs and they have staged workers to report to them and they have partners staged to help them scam. I ran out of gas trying to get back home and nearly lost all my belongings in storage as I had lost 2 days and never received payment.
