Abstract:
The article reflects on how increasingly precarious working conditions are manifest in the daily work of supervision of social work, based on the results of a qualitative study, conducted in Rio Grande do Sul with supervisors of social workers. The study began by considering the productive re-organization since the 1970s; and then presents the conditions of increased precariousness considering the dual meaning that Agnes Heller attributes to daily contact, one derived from the social division of labor and another from the provisory dependency among individuals, as conscious political activity. It concludes by demonstrating that most indicators of precarious working conditions are generally made (in)visible by the phenomenon of the lack of time.
