Temporal flexibility: scheduling gifts and the obscuring of employment relations

Abstract:
Numerous accounts of work have emphasised the ways in which the labour process and employment relations can be obscured. Burawoy (1979) goes as far as to argue that the obscuring of the labour process is a central feature of capitalist employment. Burawoy (1979); Durand and Stewart (1998); Heyes (1997); Pollert (1981) and Peng (2011) all demonstrate the ways in which a variety of ‘work games’ act to mystify the nature of the workplace and experiences of employment.
