CAPAVERDE, Caroline Bastos et al. "We never thought we would have to start over": life stories in the extinction of foundations in Rio Grande do S. Cad. psicol. soc. trab. [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.1, pp.119-134. ISSN 1516-3717.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-0490.v24i1p119-134.

Within the scope of neoliberal policies, it is possible to locate, in the recent history of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, administrations that faithfully adhered to these precepts, such as the José Ivo Sartori's administration (2015-2018). This administration opted for austerity and reform policy combinations, based on the decrease of the State's participation in society. Our article seeks to reflect on the living and working conditions of the State's civil servants in the face of the crisis and to understand how a couple of civil servants engender possibilities of coping with the precariousness - a product of neoliberal management - of labor relations that once structured family life. Based on the life stories of Maria and João, we talk about the flagrant worsening in working conditions, whether in infrastructure and arbitrary relocation, in career plans or even in their stability. We reflect that, in the crisis, there is a precariousness in workers' life and production of subjectivity, which leads to the assumption of new social roles and relational configurations in conjugality.
