2004jul17. Book review: Willing Slaves: How the Overwork Culture is Ruining Our Lives.
Some of Bunting’s examples are horrifically comic. One Asda manager, for example, describes an occasion when all employees were asked to wear a pink item of clothing for a breast cancer awareness day. “Everyone joined in, it was a great cause. But there were two dissenters who forgot. I told them to go home. I told them, ‘You’re not in the team.’ They knew what was the right or wrong behaviour, and they went off, bought pink shirts and came back.”
