Tasker horror stories
Post Body

I got paused for being unable to find tasks I could do. This is a bit long winded so please bear with me.

I had my cat get sick over the weekend and had to choose between vet or Tasking. She got worse and I had to decline two jobs due to this. TaskRabbit was forcing me to choose between working to feed myself or saving my cat if she had problems.

TaskRabbit has had zero mercy even when I presented a page long email of evidence of my consistent employment issues.

The worst part is this is my only work option left. I am autistic and considered an "undesirable" by entry level industries at best, "completely unemployable" at worst. Because of my disability and needing a day program to get out of the house, I'm limited to daytime hours and in Marin County.

I am now unemployed and on the verge of eviction, eating what few scraps I can successfully "scrounge" (read: mooch or steal from fridge at mom's....I live at home but she viewed me taking food out of her kitchen to live as stealing, hence my use of the word).

Even worse, if I lose my Tasker status, I am on the street as my ability to stay at parents home is contingent on working. No work, no home. And in my city, virtually EVERY act committed to survive by a homeless person is banned by a myriad of ordinances.

So in short, TaskRabbit is slowly pushing me towards losing everything, ranging from money, to a roof over my head, to a clean criminal record. I am at a loss what to do.
