Beyond the implications for job satisfaction and performance, others question the broader psychological and social effects of a hyperflexible culture:
“Who needs me?” is a question which suffers a radical challenge in modern capitalism. The system radiates indifference. It does so in terms of the outcomes of human striving, as in winner-take-all markets, where there is little connection between risk and reward. It radiates indifference in the organization of absence of trust, where there is no reason to be needed. ….Does so in which people are treated as disposable. Such practices obviously and brutally dimish the sense of mattering as a person, of being necessary to others,” wrote John Harris Howell in The Right to Manage: Industrial Relations Policies of American Business in the 1940s.
