A form of hyper‑slavery focused solely and exclusively on measurable outcomes, where the worker is valued only for their capacity to produce results (output, metrics, deliverables) while every other dimension of their existence—health, time, dignity, relationships—is treated as irrelevant or as an obstacle to be minimized. It is hyper‑slavery because the extraction is total, but it operates through performance metrics rather than direct coercion. Workers are trapped not by chains but by algorithms that track output, platforms that rate productivity, and economic precarity that makes any failure to produce results a threat to survival. The “results” themselves are often arbitrary, subject to goalpost‑moving, and designed to be just out of reach.
