Description
Heike Geissler's Seasonal Associate is a nuanced account of her experience working in an online marketplaces fulfillment center. After struggling to make ends meet as a freelance writer and translator, she takes a seasonal job at the company.
The job, intended as a temporary measure, quickly becomes a descent into humiliation, and Geissler begins to internalize the dynamics of the post-capitalist labor market and precarious work. This literary exploration offers a unique perspective on the psychic damage that can result from working in such environments.
Shifting between first and second person, Seasonal Associate provides a thought-provoking expose of the effects of corporate flex-time employment on workers who are increasingly seen as expendable resources.
