Psychotherapist Harriet Fraad talks with Emily Guendelsberger, author of 'On the Clock'. "Across three jobs, and in three different parts of the country, Guendelsberger directly took part in the revolution changing the U.S. workplace. Offering an up-close portrait of America's actual essential workers, On the Clock examines the broken social safety net as well as an economy that has purposely had all the slack drained out and converted to profit. Guendelsberger shows us how workers went from being the most expensive element of production to the cheapest - and how low wage jobs have been remade to serve the ideals of efficiency, at the cost of humanity."

Brave New Work special | Episode 2 of 3 Vass Bednar takes over as host of Policy Speaking, for a special Brave New Work discussion on algorithms that pit workers – especially precarious workers – against the clock. Joining the podcast is Emily Guendelsberger, author of 'On the Clock', who wonders: how do you measure misery at work and what do political solutions for misery look like when policymakers are insulated from the dehumanising daily experience of low-wage work. Later in the podcast, labour relations expert Sean O'Brady talks about how technology is driving workers out of work, rather than improving their work. And he touches on union solidarity-from-home.

Swirling beneath every single one of this year’s breaking stories and major crises is work and labor: not only of the people in the headlines, but of the audio storytellers, ourselves.How does the media fail to cover the working class, work, and labor? Why is working class, in media speak, a synonym for "white men?" And how does this impact our culture, our world, and our own spaces of work? Unless we confront the system of media we operate inside of and they way power works within our own industry, we can not properly confront and cover structural power and inequality as journalists and audio storytellers.This opening panel from the 2019 Third Coast Conference was hosted by Sandhya Dirks, with panelists Carla Murphy, Afi Yellow-Duke and Emily Guendelsberger.We have a ton more to share with you – resources, events, dates and more.

Emily Guendelsberger, author of the book “On the Clock: What Work Did to Me, and How it Drives America Insane,” was a journalist who, upon her newspaper closing, decided to work at a variety of jobs. Her choices included an Amazon fulfillment center, to a call center, to a McDonald’s. As our conversation shows, the book explores what it means to work today, where deskilling, automation, technological controls, routinization, and stress all come together to create an employee experience that can not only be demoralizing, but physically debilitating. At a time where there is a larger conversation about how to create better employee experiences through meaningful work, what about those lower wage jobs for those that may not have many choices? How can we make the modern workplace more humane? Or is the situation just going to get worse in a race to the bottom?

Charles Duhigg is a 2013 Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, the author of The Power of Habit, and a magazine writer who most recently published an in-depth look at Amazon's world-eating growth for The New Yorker. “The first question I might ask is, ‘I'm really sorry, I don't know enough to know what question to ask you. What do you think is the most interesting thing I could ask you about x?' It catches them off guard ... and they always come up with some suggested question that never would have occurred to me — because they know their own brain better than I could ever know it by asking them questions to get at it.” Jacob and Charles discuss how every corporate job at Amazon is really the same, how longform and books allow a conversation around a subject to linger, and reporting style and tips for podcasts, print and books — including using LinkedIn to find sources and stories. Charles can be found on Twitter @cduhigg and emailed at charles@charlesduhigg.com (he promises to get back to anyone who reaches out). [0:57] Is Amazon Unstoppable?
