Abstract
Although teleworking existed before the pandemic, its emergence and large-scale implementation suggest a paradigm shift in the world of work. While the reception of teleworking has been optimistic in general, its sudden introduction reveals a series of underlying structural inequalities, between manual workers and cognitive workers, between European Union member countries, geographic territories, business sectors, job qualification, age, ethnicity, and class. Such structural inequality, amplified by teleworking, presents significant challenges for work and society in the future of postCovid society. The text draws on data extracted from a survey administered to 66 teleworkers during lockdown; on comparative data collected from official reports, and the theoretical literature on the evolution of cognitive capitalism and the emergence of remote work.
