In this talk, I draw on 70 interviews in addition to participant observations to highlight the role of gig economy platforms in producing a novel form of reputational insecurity. This insecurity is generated by platform disruption to the traditional operation of industry reputation in freelance markets. I highlight three areas of transformation (recognition, power relations, and transparency) in which platforms disrupt the social regulation of reputation and thus algorithmically amplify uncertainty. I also detail how workers individually and collectively attempt to re-embed reputation within interpersonal relations to reduce this novel insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Please register your attendance using the following link: <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.ncl.ac.uk\/view.php?id=13810890\">https:\/\/forms.ncl.ac.uk\/view.php?id=13810890<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Disrupting reputation: navigating platform precarity in the remote gig economy 27 Apr 2022, 14:00-16:00 Zoom Guest Speaker: Dr Alex Wood (University of Bristol and&#8230; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/2022\/02\/23\/hrmwe-research-community-seminar-disrupting-reputation-navigating-platform-precarity-in-the-remote-gig-economy\/\" rel=\"bookmark\"><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4425,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-13226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research","tag-research-events"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4425"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13226"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13300,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13226\/revisions\/13300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
