Well, it's not hard to imagine a future in which a majority of labor is "just in time" and people all have 6 different part-time gigs going concurrently, taking whichever job notification pops up next on their phone.

Optimal for profit margins for a single company, but at what cost to society as a whole?

what about a quality of those services? a full time driver drives much better than someone who does 4 different gigs part time

this would only work for unskilled workers.

although being a doctor, you only work when there are patients. so that's JIT too i guess.
