Social:Jobless employed
In human resources, jobless employed is an oxymoron that refers to employees who have little to no work while remaining employed.[1] The presence of jobless employed can negatively impact work culture and breed resentment among those who are overworked.[2] Such positions are seen as a rejection of corporate work culture and an embrace of work-life balance and anti-work.[3][4]
The transition to remote work following the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with increased automation, outsourcing, and organizational disruption have increased the prevalence of the jobless employed.[1] Absenteeism, a lack of middle management and disengaged managers enables the issue.[2][1]
Jobless employed may be uncovered through performance audits and business process reviews, and replaced through the use of artificial intelligence driven business process automation.[5]
The term was coined by Emily Stewart in May 2023 in a Vox article.[2][3][1]
