Relevant for other industries where casualisation, precariousness and under-payment are rife — academia, for example.

bbuckley Mike Lawler Anthony P. D'Esposito Bruce Blakeman Sid Rosenberg MichaelRapaport Columbia University “During Shafik's directorship of the LSE, levels of academic casualisation increased, with the number of academics on fixed term contracts increasing from 55 percent in 2016 through 2017 to 59 percent in 2021 through 2022, according to Higher Education Statistical Agency data”.

signüll 1.) casualisation: dating has become “situationships”

2.) large pool -> increased competition

3.) high density of gay people -> drives up standards of self-presentation (makeup, fashion, etc.)

Gavin Moodie Dr Hannah Elias UCU NTEU In the UK, there have been pledges to remediate casualisation for decades. Never comes to anything. Big universities get 100% overheads from Research Councils , part of which was meant to be for a decasualisation 'Concordat.' 😖

Dr Monique Ryan MP Casualisation of the workforce needs to be addressed also as this is a major factor.

Andrew Norton SJ Williams Another possible contributor to casualisation is departments changing their courses more frequently in responses to changes in student demand. But I am not sure it would be a big contributor.

Matt I might be in the minority here, but I'm not a fan of the casualisation of business attire. Especially the suit and shirt with no tie. There's something to be said for dressing sharply, and for men, a good suit is hard to beat.

Factors contributing to poor election turnout:
- Heatwave
- BJP centralisation of power
- reservation concerns
- caste concerns
- dislike of Muslim bashing
- cadre overconfidence
- economic casualisation.

'BJP may only get 225-230 seats!'

Mark Changizi Ah yes, the ‘safe space’ - another of those phrases I’ve come to despise - it’s just like saying the casualisation of our workforces are great because, hey, ‘flexibility’!

anna spargo-ryan 🍉 What, even with ever-increasing casualisation, zero-hour contracts, cuts to education / health / crisis-accomodation, price gauging and inflation making women's lives more equal?

Paul Testa Phineas Harper No, it's just the creeping managerialism that takes hold of all large organisations: arse covering by administrators terrified of ever making a mistake; managed by managers who think casualisation of the workforce is a great way to save the organisation a few £s. Dismal!

John B James casualisation of the whole sector.
Also Diverse Reports, which did a 'we are all lefties but for 'balance' we'll have some Libertarians' which I think to some extent lead to Spiked etc

ArkhCel - Ark Mount Omega Simp pour moi le point noir actuel sur ff c'est qu'il vont trop sur la casualisation, je peux comprendre leur argument rendre le jeux accessible a tous mais a force les job perde leur identité ce qui les rend moins fun a jouer ou apprendre

💧Stavros™ = Σταύρος© & at @mantikos.bsky.social Yes well there is that but I think he has a point re education. Having worked in the field I can tell you we are failing big time! Through lack of funding & lack of cooperation. It really hit the fan with Economic Rationalism & Casualisation of the teaching workforce.

David Hamilton #IstandwithIsrael If you look at the economics that led us here - marketisation, outsourcing, privatisation, casualisation, financialisation - & the foreign policy direction that underlies the crisis we’re in, you have to trace that back to successive Thatcher Govt’s & continuity Blair.
