shadow work
Integrating hidden self
Shadow work is unpaid labor that consumers perform for businesses—tasks once done by employees but now shifted to customers.
Pumping your own gas, checking out your own groceries, booking travel online, and assembling furniture are all shadow work.
The term captures how companies reduce costs by making customers do the work without compensation: I spent an hour on shadow work just to change my flight.
