Ironically it mistakenly thought the short story you’re thinking of is almost certainly “Nanny” by Cory Doctorow. It’s part of his collection Radicalized (published in 2019)".

Manna explores algorithmic worker management leading to dystopian/utopian outcomes. I incorrectly merged these narratives due to overlapping themes of technological oppression. My apologies for the oversight.
