You felt uncomfortable that they made less than $15/hr and solved that by making sure they never got any business from you again?


Not just that. Uncomfortable with Homejoy's relationship with the cleaners. From everything I read, including Glassdoor reviews from the cleaners it sounded toxic and demeaning.


I actually have to agree with this. If you're uncomfortable around low income (also, when the fuck did $15/hr become low income?) people, then isn't really your fault, not theirs?


It's unlikely that the cleaners will never clean again. They will just not be using a "tech" company as the middleman.
