I am an owner/founder who has experienced similar anxieties and the answer was cognitive behavioral therapy and drugs, both managed by a good therapist.
The CBT can effect long term changes in your thinking and behavior, and temper your anxieties permanently.
The drugs can make the anxieties disappear temporarily and immediately and are best used infrequently in situations where the price of impaired performance is high. (Many doctors overprescribe them imo.)
It took several years of slow progress but probably 75% of my anxieties are gone. I don't overwork myself, I don't worry about things unless it benefits me to do so, and I rarely miss out on a good night's sleep.
His argument is faulty, but the fact of the matter is that Deliveroo owns the relationship with the customer. It's ultimately Deliveroo's job to make sure good food shows up in the right place at the right time. Failing that in a competitive market they will likely lose customers.
There's lots of examples in this thread and elsewhere that frankly most of these delivery companies aren't great at what they do.
Additionally a lot of them are shitty to their vendors (restaurants) - the post that spawned this whole debate being a perfect example. It's not necessarily Deliveroo's job to treat their vendors like royalty, but we give Walmart plenty of well deserved shit for abusing its vendors, no reason Deliveroo should be immune to criticism.
I suspect most of them were told (by their mothers, continuously for the first 20 years of their lives) that this was in fact the way to land a good woman. Be a nice clean cut guy and earn $120K a year.
If you know so much then what's your prescription for them?
Ok, fair enough. The article isn't about Facebook forcing their shitty software down our throats (which they still do, via notification and email spam).
It's about Facebook paying OEMs to force its shitty software down our throats.
IMO not really a meaningful distinction in this context though.
As long as they force their shitty software down people's throats every day (literally what the article is about), people will keep complaining about them. Just like everyone who's forced to use Comcast complains.
In fact it's mainly abusive monopolies that tend to receive this nonstop criticism. Ordinary crappy companies go out of business because people can switch to their alternatives, then no one complains about them anymore.

You can change.
