flextime
Flextime is a system that promises the liberty to work whenever you like, yet shackles you to looming deadlines. Its freedom lies in the trivial luxury of delaying morning commutes by an hour. Early clock-out is celebrated, but often serves as the gateway to overtime entrapment. While touted as empowering employee autonomy, it simultaneously amplifies responsibility and surveillance. Companies rejoice in the illusion of efficiency as workers perform freedom in this ironic cannibalistic workplace.
