> * Many hourly jobs love to schedule people at seemingly random times, so they'll never know from one week to the next what times they'll have free and can't make commitments outside of work.*

A number of years ago I heard Reid Hoffmann on a podcast discussing how algorithms would replace management. How could technology replace the human demands of management? I couldn’t wrap my head around it.

Now I see that this type of thing is what Hoffman meant. The human aspect would be removed.

A faceless, nameless algorithm would take over. Scheduling some of the most vulnerable workers in our society to ensure they don’t cross over the 40-hour per week threshold for work that would require benefits or overtime but also to ensure they don’t get paid to work an extra minute when there may be a bit of downtime.
