In this episode, Elise interviews Maybritt Hennig on precarious labor in the so-called online platform economy. Following an introduction into the world of online platform employment, we discuss its evolution through history and its current trends within the global labor market. May outlines the various legal, economic, and social forms of precariousness imposed on workers within the online platform economy that go largely unnoticed by the rest of society. We discuss topics such as algorithmic management, the digital capitalist service economy, permanent surveillance, and more.
