This chapter considers the forms of flexibility that are sought by employers, their origins and their effects on employees, for example through their impact on security and insecurity. I look in particular at management and risk, including how management has responded to risk, and other factors including cost pressures and the pressure for accountability. In this chapter I look at the interaction of matters we discussed in the preceding two chapters that is, I look at trends in work in light of changing management structures and strategies. In another corner sit those (often also from conservative political camps) who reassure us that nothing really is changing, and it will all work out in the end.

If this libertarian vision of a world of freelancers frees us from the drudgery of employment, it is also a nightmare for those who worry about equity and security in the future.

A world in which we will all be freelancers, pursuing the next contract like the Uber driver pursues the next ride. A world in which giant workplaces like mines (though not coal mines, there will not be many of them) or factories or construction sites are fully automated and remotely controlled from some air-conditioned office in Sydney, or Dallas, or Mumbai. A world in which robots provide assistance to the aged, the disabled, the young. A world in which energy is generated on the roofs of houses and shared in communities, ugly transmission towers having long ago been torn down. A world in which queries you have about anything, from legal or financial to technical or customer service matters, are answered not by a person but by a bot that sounds, maybe even looks, perfectly human. A world in which all your shopping is without human interaction, either done online or by you walking into an unstaffed shop. It could be a world in which trucks and other vehicles drive themselves. Take a moment to imagine the future world of work. Flexibility, the ‘gig economy’ and the employment relationship
