Sobering, Dec 21 2009
This review is from: Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream (Paperback)
This is the third of Barbara Ehrenreich's books I have read and like the other two, a sobering look at the state of work in the U.S. and I believe Canada. This book deals with the disappearance of middle management in many companies and corporations or perhaps more rightly phrased, the expendibility of middle management. How long can people who have worked hard and are declared redundant retain self respect and hope? What are the prices one must pay to sell oneself to places of employ--offering little more than minimum wage and no benefits? How much of life today continues to see work or job as self worth. No job=not valuable in the eyes of others.
