I told you when the ginger haired one signed up to be the ambassador for this company, the whole thing would go up in flames.

The company, much like Uber, will tell you they are a technology company.

That isn’t true of course.

But, what is true is they and companies like them have to pay their drivers/therapists/food delivery people as low a wage as possible. Is that really how you want your therapy though?

The ginger haired one is not responsible, but he should have known this would happen, and he is the face of the company.

Labor woes hit Prince Harry’s San Francisco mental health startup

While Prince Harry likely enjoys lucrative compensation for serving as “chief impact officer” for San Francisco-based startup, BetterUp, the company, which provides “mental fitness” services to corporate clients, faced a revolt among its coaches over pay cuts and other professional issues, the Daily Beast reported.

The revolt had to do with modifications the company is making to the coaches’ contracts, which would basically result in “sneaky” pay cuts, as six BetterUp coaches told the Daily Beast.

The coaches said the company reportedly planned to cut a stipend that they use to help prepare for meetings and assignments with clients, the Daily Beast reported.

The coaches work one on one with clients via video chat or text messages, and help clients with a range of professional and personal issues related to leadership, mental health, nutrition, sleep and even parenting, BetterUp CEO Alexi Robichaux told CNN in March 2021.

Another issue of concern for coaches was that the company instituted a new metrics system that influences their fees. The new system “retroactively evaluated coaches in part based on how ‘life-changing’ a client found their guidance and how frequently they met for sessions,” the Daily Beast said. In the evaluation, clients can rate the session as either amazing or life changing, but a mere “good” rating will result in a penalty, coaches told the Daily Beast. – Source
