Abstract
Using a longitudinal qualitative method made of interviews and self-reported diaries of 13 employees and managers on a one-year period, we seek to understand how this re-regulation may also be understood as part of a resistance process aiming to accommodate work and private duties and concerns “at the right place” and often “at the right distance”. To do so, we analyze the making of these re-regulations, addressing two main questions: (a) how work-life balance is shaped and re-regulated in the covid-19 work context (including micro-politics of the workplace – home - and of working times)? and (b) how it questions the centrality of work, for employees?
