Zomato receives backlash over new ads featuring Hrithik and Katrina - Page 6

I did a little research into the kind of people who take up these jobs. These are the people with basic education- students etc and are willing to stretch themselves to make a quick buck without putting in a lot of mental energies.

Not completely true though, students taking up delivery jobs for extra bucks was there in the past when these startups just started building their network in the country. But right now a lot of things have changed. When you order from Zomato, they send you details of the delivery guy including their educational qualification and personal details. I live in a metropolitan city and in the last two years, I don't think I've seen a single student in the delivery information. Almost everyone is atleast a graduate, married with kids and well past the age of a student. So what was once a means of earning some quick cash has now changed into a form of employment for many people beyond students and when things started going wrong, like you said, they took it up through protests and on social media and people are just amplifying their voice.

So you guys are telling me that a company big enough to hire HR and Kat for their ads is not governed by any laws.....nothing at all?? No one can do anything except cry themselves hoarse?? How is that even possible??😕 I can agree that they can be bad employers like Walmart and Amazon are....but are you telling me that they are free to do whatever they want??

How about boycott government who is selling india and using the money they are getting after selling india to make their Alishan Mahals, New parliaments and destroying Indian history .

jo actual mein bura kar rahe hain woh nahin dikhta . Keep wasting energy on useless things .

Karl Marx wannabes shud first stop crying when their maid goes on leave for a day.

This ad showed customer was king. If employees have a problem with Zomato, they are free to leave the company. Nobody is forcing them to work there at gunpoint

Ironically, in the Karl Marx Wannabe World, charity begins at other people's home.

Not so easy when you have mouths to feed and stomachs to fill at home.

It's not like people give gaalis to anyone, but its true that people tend to become impatient when they are kept waiting for food. As for the rest, about lack of payment etc. that's a valid issue, I'm not denying that. But these ads didn't feel like exploitation is being glorified. It's more about making the customer feel good.

I was working till late one night and ordered food from food panda;it was prepaid and the food never came 😭

In Zomato timings are there and sometimes the restaurant itself takes time to pack food.. you can connect with the delivery boy or the restaurant and updates are available.. not sure what the issue is with people.. what’s the point in getting angry..

How is it exploitative when it is in the job description itself?Whether you are taking it up out of desperation or whatever, as long as the employer didn’t put a gun to your head, how is it the employer’s problem? It’s like saying the Army men are being exploited because they were being asked to take a bullet. I mean, what even?

There is something seriously wrong with you.

Umm. I am not the one taking my time to sit on a random forum personally attacking someone judging them on a random post. Definitely there is something wrong here but to find that person, you need to go look at the mirror. Good luck though because the visual could be not so pleasant. 😆
