The evaluation of the effects of flexible working hours reflects what seems to be an irreconcilable ambivalence. Opposing judgments are highlighted by direct testimonies from workers who experience work arrangements that are not tied to a physical presence in the company, such as remote work, which has been spreading since the pandemic crisis. The ambivalent impact of these forms of work-time organization is generally the conclusion drawn from analyses produced by literature from various disciplinary perspectives. This contribution seeks to examine this ambivalence, attempting to explore some of its meanings.
