This reminds me of the constant ads I see now for different things to "help you with your side hustle"... It's so depressing to think that having 2 or 3 jobs at once is now just considered a normal part of daily life and worse yet we have a cutesy name to try and make it sound fun

For most of my life if someone told me they had a gig, I would assume they were in a band playing at a local venue. Now it means they're a part time delivery or cab driver...

We talked about side hustles at work and I was the only one on the team without one. Most of my colleagues do Uber Eats or Uber.

That was always normal.
