內容簡介 麥肯錫年度財經書入圍 「如果你想要了解職場現正經歷的變化，還有自己必須改變來跟上腳步，你就必須讀這本書。」─丹‧萊昂斯，《獨角獸即牠的產地》作者 零工經濟(Gig Ecomomy)讓許多人脫離固定的上班時間，並且可以兼任好幾份工作，對於這樣的勞動方式形成一股潮流，大大影響了原有的工作模式，甚至有可能是未來的職場趨勢。 作者莎拉‧凱斯勒是美國新創媒體Quartz的記者，在本書中記錄凱斯勒以Uber的成功來說明此潮流，以Uber司機的實際工作經驗來說明雇主和員工如何從傳統的工作模式中逃脫，並且從自由工作業的模式中獲利。 零工經濟並非完全沒有缺點，最受到爭議的就是員工無法享有固定薪資員工的福利和保障，Uber將旗下的司機歸類成合約職員，在許多國家中，政府無法監控Uber對員工是否履行應盡的義務。 凱斯特認為雖然「零工經濟」已是一股潮流，有許多成功的範例可以參考，但仍有許多可以進步的空間。 Normal 0 0 2 false false false EN-US ZH-TW X-NONE * Style Definitions * table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:表格內文; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-font-kerning:1.0pt;}The full-time job is disappearing. Today more workers than ever are going freelance – driving for Uber or cycling for Deliveroo, developing software or consulting for investment banks. Welcome to the gig economy.In Gigged, Sarah Kessler meets the people forging this new world of unorthodox employment: from the computer programmer who chooses exactly which hours he works each week, via the Uber driver who is trying to convince his peers to unionise, to the charity worker who thinks freelance gigs might just transform the fortunes of a declining rural town.Their stories raise crucial questions about the future of work. What happens when job security, holidays and benefits become a thing of the past? How can freelancers find meaningful, well-paid employment? And could the gig economy really change the world of work for ever?Praise for Gigged‘Essential reading for anyone who is interested in understanding the future of our economy and society.’ Ha-Joon Chang, author of 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism‘Sarah Kessler’s wonderful book offers unprecedented illumination of the promise, and the peril, of the gig economy.’ Martin Ford, author of The Rise of the Robots‘If you want to know how work is changing and how you too must change to keep up, you must read this book.’ Dan Lyons, author of Disrupted‘Deep reporting and graceful storytelling . . .
