Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

This episode explores Worked Over by Jamie K. McCallum as a systems-level analysis of labor, time, technology, and employer power.

The discussion examines how productivity gains failed to produce broad leisure, why unstable scheduling and overwork can emerge from the same labor system, and how workplace surveillance shifts control over time away from workers and toward institutions.

The discussion examines:

· incentive structures

· institutional persistence

· feedback loops

· hidden system dynamics

· structural outcomes
