#12250: Platform Workers in SG – Let’s Be Real
#12250rant· 2d ago

Everyone loves to complain. Especially platform workers—drivers, riders, delivery folks. Prices too low, hours too long, platform taking too much cut. And every forum post ends the same way: “Unfair.” But let’s call it what it really is—comfort in complaint. Because if you’re still doing the same thing every day, knowing it doesn’t serve you, then maybe it’s not just the system that’s broken. Maybe it’s the will to pivot. Here’s the thing: there are always better-paying jobs. Always. But better often comes with a cost—structure, bosses, KPIs, less “freedom.” And some just can’t deal with that. They’d rather hold on to the illusion of independence than deal with accountability. So they stay. But here’s the catch: if you choose to stay, then own it. Stop complaining about a game you refuse to stop playing. There’s power in knowing your limits. There’s even more in pushing past them. The moment you realise that nobody is coming to save you—not the government, not the platform, not the algorithm—you either level up or get left behind. Complaining won’t raise your rates. Strategy might. New skills will. A shift in mindset definitely. If your end goal is to be free, then move like someone who wants freedom. Not someone addicted to comfort disguised as struggle. Because the real trap isn't the job. It’s staying where you are while telling yourself you have no choice. So no, this isn’t an attack. It’s a mirror. And you can either smash it—or use it to check your blind spots.
