A disgruntled netizen complained about delivery service Honestbee for "conveniently" cutting off its employees instead of finding solutions to bring in more sales. Do you think this is fair?

Chinese New Year is the busiest festive season and companies are paying employees at higher rate regardless of part timers or full timers during this period. However, HonestBee is paying their shoppers as low as $4.80 per hour. Despite the low pay, shoppers are required to do bulky orders that can be up to 30 to 40kg when most of the customers are ordering cartons drinks.

Honestbee advertises on job sites claiming to pay $10/hr. Don't believe it. That's just bullshit. Complete and utter bull. Just today an email was sent out reducing our already pathetic pay from $5.00 to $4.50. Is there anywhere else that pays lower than Honestbee? The Honestbee Facebook page is LITERALLY FILLED WITH ANGRY CUSTOMERS that have encountered problems and yet are unresolved for weeks, much less months. Their standard is to say they will look into it. We understand how they feel, but Honestbee seriously don't give a damn. We are just being used. With pay like this, anywhere else is better. Maybe it's time to use more dependable shopping sites like Redmart. At least you know they deliver what they promise.

Our hourly rate has been decreasing like every two to three months since last year. From the original of $7.50 per hr to the current $4.50 per hr which will start rolling out next week based on another email we received from them today. No explanation. Nothing. Shifts got reduced.
