Description and Table of Contents
Description
Recent media attention has focused on dot com disasters, the horrors of massive layoffs or on explosions of corporate violence. What is not highlighted is how life at the office for the average middle manager has become a nightmare with seven-day-a-week workloads, reduced salaries or benefits, enslavement to technology and a pervasive fear about job security. With facts, figures and case histories, this text chronicles a catastrophic sea change in industry after industry: telecommunications, the media, banking, retailing and information technology. This text offers an indictment of the causes behind this decline as well as strategies to reverse it. It is targeted towards those concerned with the future world economy or worried about his or her job.
