@baldur really insightful piece! It’s been pretty obvious that recent layoffs and some of the AI hype has been about labor discipline but I hadn’t thought of how frameworks and technology choices also serve this purpose.
Perhaps also related is how tools like LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor push a certain individualist framing of job market that claims to be about empowering workers but curiously bereft of any labor organizing. Know of any research or analysis on this topic?
