However, there is no consensus in the comments regarding this situation. Some agree that the proposed pay is too low, while others believe that the opportunities for additional work in such conditions should be assessed differently than permanent employment. "As long as there are those who work for such money, there will be those who offer such money," Ugis believes. Another commenter points out that for work under a roof, where one does not have to deal with dust or chemicals and no special knowledge is required, even 20–25 euros a day can be an acceptable wage. He also shares the experience of his wife, who worked with Tesla cars on the Bolt platform, where she managed to earn about 40 euros a day. "A student takes two days, receives 50 euros in hand, for example. What’s wrong with that?" asks Henrijs, emphasizing that such money can be useful for both everyday expenses and entertainment. Meanwhile, Kristine also shared her experience with Workis. She used the platform back in 2019 when she was actively looking for a permanent job and simultaneously taking on additional shifts. "In my opinion, it’s a very beneficial platform for people who, for some reason, do not have full-time or permanent work," she writes, adding that even then the hourly rates were similar. However, an opposing opinion was also voiced in the discussion. One commenter, who managed one of the stores herself, believes that increasing pay for Workis workers without assessing the contributions of existing employees would be unfair. She explains that when attracting new workers, it is impossible to predict their motivation and work ethic in advance. Moreover, permanent employees have to spend time training newcomers, monitoring their work, and correcting possible mistakes. In her opinion, this creates an additional burden on the already existing team.
