The aim of the presented text is to describe how flexible
corporate organizations influence the working conditions of
cashiers in supermarkets through the lens of ethnographic
research and to examine what working conditions prevail in
Czech supermarkets. The theoretical basis for this text
consists of two paradigmatic approaches. On the one hand
managerial, economic and organizational literature offers the
conceptualization of various forms of flexible work
organization in companies. On the other hand, there is critical
sociological production, which examines the change in working
conditions through the concept of precarization. However, it
focuses on the analysis of state policies and the resulting
ways of regulating or deregulating the labor market in
particular. My intention is to connect both paradigms and
analyze the precarization of work as a consequence of flexible
organization of work in supermarketsts. These consequences are
then interpreted from the employees perspective.
