Flexiworkers and Technologies
The article that I founded is about to work
outside the workday. For example when we could receive a lot of e mails and
answer everything in every time. One of reasons that we feel pressure could be
that we feel responsible to work even if this activity (to answer e mail) don´t
meaning extra salary.
Then the article mentions the work´s experiences
from differences European countries that have a 45 hours in average (UK, Greece)
and put the example to France (35 hours of work) or Swedes (6 hours of
workday). Also, the writer says that there are a culture of 24 hours of work
that it impede us not answer.
The new show a lot of opinions about to swift
off the mobiles because this equipment allow for remove the work limits. Besides
it advice that we could put own limits to other about to receive work on
leisure time and rest.
On the other hand the article mention about the
modern economy that pressure us to compete in vary of social topics front ourselves.
With this, the current economic model is incompatible with time of rest and
demand more time to people. It considers to workers like every time available
under the job´s transformations called as Flexitime.
I read this column because is a very important topic
to sociology of work: the homeworkers and flexiworkers too. Currently there are
many cases about people that work during travel home or at home. This situation
is very common for all new technologies that it allow us to be connect all the
time. Sometimes the workers feel
pressure about to have to responses every time to not lose the job or the boss´s
confidence. This is another kind of exploitation in the capitalism model. And I
´m agree with the advices from articles about the responsibility that we have
to put limits to work and our time of rest.
