Talk:Disaggregated work

Question
, Other than the rebranding, how does this differ from Division of labour? Wouldn't a REDIR be appropriate? Cabayi (talk) 08:24, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * , it seems that conceptually it is the same. In fact, looking over the Division of labour article, the sources I provided talk about the same issues, namely that increasing the specialization creates less-skilled workers, robs of enthusiasm for their work and alienates them from the process of production, making them "depressed spiritually and physically to the condition of a machine". On the other hand, it is much simpler to derive expressions relative to disaggregated work, such as disaggregated labor, disaggregated labor market, disaggregated service, disaggregated office, disaggregated worker. In particular, how do you succinctly describe a disaggregated worker, that is a worker that does an elemental part of a bigger job, in terms of division of labor? The article you link to says this: " This is the assembly line style of job specialization where employees are given a very narrow set of tasks or one specific task". So, one may argue that "disaggregated worker" is an "assembly-line style worker", but in the mind of many an assembly line is a relentless stream of identical operations to produce thousands or millions of products, while a disaggregated job may be a small part of a complex but otherwise one-time job. I think that there is enough distinction for the both terms to exist, although they describe the same socioeconomic situation. Mikus (talk) 18:19, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * , fair enough. In that case I believe the article would be better for addressing the relationship between the two rather than leaving it as the elephant in the room. Cabayi (talk) 19:12, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
