Abstract
The new ways of working permeate a complex and dense framework: the algorithmization. In it, all individuals are subject to a new form of capitalism that intensifies power and surveillance. In view of this, workers are under the aegis of immaterial and virtual bosses, in the form of algorithms, who exploit their workforce and push them towards precarious conditions. A new form of work is created and in it there are no assured rights for workers and there is a weakening of labor relations. In this article, we discuss how algorithmization allowed liquid and precarious work based on an essay on the new forms of work carried out by the digital medium. The main objective of the essay is to contribute to discussions about platform work and its social consequences, in the face of a structure of constant surveillance and power relations that reconfigure a social logic, in which algorithms have power over workers.
