When we understand paid work as a power relationship, the book argues, we see how the spread of precarious scheduling constitutes flexible despotism; a novel regime of control within the workplace. The author of the work believes that flexible despotism represents a new domain of inequality, in which the postindustrial working class increasingly suffers a scheduling nightmare. By investigating two of the largest retailers in the world, the book uncovers how control in the contemporary 'flexible firm' is achieved through the insidious combination of 'flexible discipline' and 'schedule gifts.' 410 0$aCornell scholarship online. 606 $aFlexible work arrangements$zGreat Britain 606 $aFlexible work arrangements$zUnited States 606 $aHours of labor$zGreat Britain 606 $aHours of labor$zUnited States 606 $aPrecarious employment$zGreat Britain 606 $aPrecarious employment$zUnited States 606 $aIndustrial relations$zGreat Britain 606 $aIndustrial relations$zUnited States 610 $aAnticommunism, Philippines, US empire, decolonization, Cold War. 615 0$aFlexible work arrangements 615 0$aFlexible work arrangements 615 0$aHours of labor 615 0$aHours of labor 615 0$aPrecarious employment 615 0$aPrecarious employment 615 0$aIndustrial relations 615 0$aIndustrial relations 676 $a331.25/7240941 700 $aWood$b Alex J.$f1985-$01218520 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554210603321 996 $aDespotism on demand$92817901 997 $aUNINA
