Intrigued by reports of increasing poverty and despair within America's
white-collar corporate workforce, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to
infiltrate their world as an undercover reporter and learn about the
problems facing middle-class executives at first hand. Thinking she had
set herself an easy challenge, the author was quite unprepared for what
happened next. Ehrenreich found herself entering a shadowy world of
Internet job searches, lonely networking events and costly
career-coaching sessions, a world in which 'professional' mentors and
trainers offer pop-psychology and self-help mantras to desperate
would-be employees.
Her story is an important one - poignant and
blackly funny - that delivers a stark warning about the future that
faces corporate employees everywhere and calls for collective action to
guard against it.
