This paper explores the work organization focusing on its performance and control management mechanisms in a credit card credential firm after its acquisition by a large national financial institution and subsequent adoption of a financialized approach towards its management. In order to do so, a case study was conducted, which through interviews, questionnaires, participant observation and a documentary research over official and private company financial data, thus, identifying both pragmatic and symbolic changes in the work organization after its acquisition. Amongst the results, there is the exit from Bovespa, the creation of the Telecontrol-Intervention area; the intensification of control and working hours; the increased flexibility and worker autonomy; alterations in their remuneration schemes, among others of symbolic nature. Yet, considering this latter, the adoption of practices based on the Value Based Management (VBM) premises, as the focus on the Economic Value Added (EVA), one of the most emblematic financial indicators of management financialization, shows in the studied case, that the reproduction of its practices had contribute positively to its increase in the firm, even though its financial results distribution among workers has decreased in favor of increased distribution among the financial institution’s shareholders. One of the research’s most relevant contributions calls the attention towards the increased individualization, competition, and precariousness experienced by workers now threatened to face interventions.
