Meaning of “Timee-san(タイミーさん)”

“Timee-san(タイミーさん)” means a gig worker.
Timee(タイミー) is the most popular gig work platform in Japan.
San(さん) is a polite title in Japanese, like Mr. or Ms., used after someone’s name.

In the gig work field, gig workers are sometimes referred to as “Timee-san(タイミーさん)” since it’s hard to remember everyone’s names, it’s an efficient way, I think.
