Vi går mot ett digitalt samhälle och fler och fler myndigheter jobbar för att deras kunder ska välja deras digitala kanaler först. Covid-19 tvingade även personalen att välja de digitala mötena i första hand. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur aktiva de deltagande i de digitala mötena är samt hur det vardagliga lärandet påverkas av de digitala mötesformerna. Författaren har försökt att få svar på dessa frågor genom att genomföra en kvantitativ enkätstudie på Arbetsförmedlingens personal i Blekinge. Sedan restriktionerna för pandemin startade har alla sina interna möten via digitala plattformar och använder sig dagligen av sina kollegor i sitt vardagliga lärande. Resultatet har visat att man kan fortsätta arbeta hemifrån efter pandemin ett par dagar i veckan, men på grund av stängd kamerafunktion och teknikstrul så har det varit svårt att aktivt delta i mötena. Att ta till sig av det vardagliga lärandet går, men den spontana frågan man brukar ställa när man ser en kollega i korridoren uteblir och det blir i stället ett letande efter vem som man känner att man kan störa. Slutsatsen är att hade verktygen fungerat som de ska så hade fler varit aktiva i de digitala mötena men att saknaden av kollegor gör att man behöver vara på arbetet mycket för att det vardagliga lärandet ska fungera smidigare.

Over the course of the last few decades, work-life has changed and now includes a higher degree of instability and insecurity. This thesis takes this change as its starting point, aiming to understand the ways in which individuals manage involuntary work-life transitions at the workplace, in terms of learning. The study has a longitudinal focus, based on interviews of twelve people who used to work at the same plant. Seven of the interviewees were laid off during the financial crisis of 2008, five of them were not laid off, but continued their employment throughout the crisis. Theoretically, the approach is a combination of a pragmatic learning perspective, through which learning is seen as a kind of problem-solving activity, and a narrative perspective that provides tools with which to view stories as carriers of meaning. The results show that insecurity is accepted by many as a non-negotiable part of work-life. Work-life is in many aspects affected by market globalisation the discourse of employability, where the individual bears the responsibility for their personal work-life. By preparing as best they can to be financially, socially and employability-wise well equipped, the interviewees do what they can to minimize the negative effects of the bad times that are bound to come at some point. Across time, many of the interviewees are moving between different approaches to dealing with the insecurity of work-life. In the process of making meaningful strategic choices, they are involved in learning. Experience and future plans play a role in which choices are made, and thereby also form the route that is constructed by each individual as they navigate between different points in their work-life. The final discussion aims at pointing out the effects an insecure work-life impose on people. People tell stories of acceptance towards the instability of work-life, not because they find work-life satisfying or well-functioning, but because they need to. In order to match the qualifications of an employable individual, they cannot oppose it. In doing so they would automatically define themselves as not so flexible, not so employable. This is a result of learning in work-life transitions.
