Lost in Automation? Algorithmic Management and the Evolving Role of Middle Managers - Insights From the Spanish Dark Stores Sector
This article examines the impact of algorithmic management on workplace social relations in conventional employment settings. Fifty-one semi-structured interviews with middle managers and shop-floor workers of three different dark stores in Spain were conducted to explore how algorithmic tools reshape managerial roles and worker dynamics. Building on Labor Process Theory, the findings reveal that while algorithmic management reduces the need for …
The times, are they changing? Examining platform companies' chameleonic labour process as a response to the Spanish Rey Rider
This article investigates the effects of the Spanish initiative to deploy a universal presumption of employment relationship for all platform couriers (Ley Rider). Drawing from 36 semi-structured interviews and several non-participant observations in Spain, this article shows that the impact of this initiative has been positive but limited. The eradication of bogus self-employment is a positive development, as it allows workers to access safety n…
Platform couriers' self‐exploitation
This article examines the phenomenon of self‐exploitation among platform couriers, using the company Glovo as a case study. The research, based on a qualitative approach with interviews from 22 different stakeholders, highlights the ways in which precarity, entrepreneurial subjectivity, and gamification intersect to create what are referred to as postdisciplinary control mechanisms. These mechanisms shift the locus of exploitation from the employ…

Throughout 2020, the Spanish Government initiated the process of regulating all activities related to platform work with the purpose of 'chasing the fraud of bogus self-employment' (PSOE and Unidas Podemos, 2020). Somewhat surprisingly, this initiative was met by a substantial wave of protest from the workers who the government proclaimed to be attempting to protect. In this light, the present research explores the arguments of the Spanish sí soy…
The lose-lose dilemmas of Barcelona’s platform delivery workers in the age of Covid-19
The abrupt lockdown experienced by a big part of the world population due to the COVID-19 pandemic has bestowed upon home delivery services an unexpected importance. Officially considered amongst "essential services", their workers circulate freely while most people are advised (when not forced) to stay in their homes. The present paper explores how this context helps to shed light on the precarious situation of the majority of the platform deliv…
Memória cultural e o espaço (re)imaginado em Hóspedes da Noite, de Licínio Azevedo
O cinema desempenha um papel ativo na formação da nossa compreensão do passado e na definição da agenda para futuros atos de lembrança no seio da sociedade, dado que constitui um meio de memória cultural e visual sobre os países e os espaços e períodos representados. O Grande Hotel da Beira, símbolo de luxo no período colonial, é-nos apresentado em Hóspedes da noite, por dois ex-funcionários, que relembram a sua grandiosidade, enquanto, em simult…
