digital whip
form of discipline and control imposed through the use of ICT, whereby workers’ schedules are set and monitored by computer, often with an embedded continuous improvement algorithm based on the average speed at which workers should complete specific tasks
Points and badges were used for meaningless progression in a digital system; leaderboards provided a “digital whip” for employees not performing at a high level.
