Beyond OrgTech

• Monitoring & surveillance technologies shift power dynamics in the workplace: These tools are used to make decisions about compensation and impose workflow changes based on performance, but they can suffer from bias, inaccuracy, and information asymmetry.

• The Return of the Manager?: An overview of what it takes to adopt self-managing organisational structures: cultures should shift from a control-focus to a service-focus, in which frontline teams are customers of internal teams, and boundaries should be clearly defined between hierarchies and networks.

• The Servant Economy: Checking back in on the gig economy, which the author argues is nothing more than platform servitude driven by widening income inequality.

• The Sharing Economy Was Always a Scam: A similar article, arguing that the sharing economy has shirked its communal roots, instead drifting towards centralised control and rent-seeking. Ends with a nod to cooperative ownership and the cynical implication that blockchains' grand promises are just more of the same.
