The twenty-first century workplace compels Americans to be more
flexible. To embrace change, work with unpredictable schedules, be
available 24/7, and take charge of one's own career. What are the
wider implications of these pressures for workers' lives? How do
they conceive of good work and a good life amid such incessant
change? In The Disrupted Workplace, Benjamin Snyder examines how
three groups of American workers-financial professionals, truck
drivers, and unemployed job seekers-construct moral order in a
capitalist system that demands flexibility. Based on seventy
in-depth interviews and three years of participant observation, he
argues that the flexible economy transforms how workers experience
time. New scheduling techniques, employment strategies, and
technologies disrupt the flow and trajectory of working life, which
makes the workplace a site of perplexing moral dilemmas. Work can
feel both liberating and terrorizing, engrossing in the short term
but unsustainable in the long term. Through a vivid portrait of
real workers' struggles to adapt their lives to constant
disruption, Benjamin Snyder mounts a compelling critique of the
costs of the flexible economy.
