Somebody here on Miscellany, pointed to a book called "The condition of postmodernity" by david harvey. In it, he describes the transition from Fordist production to Flexible Accumulation.
I'm definitely seeing it in the works at the job. But I wonder if it is a temporary fix, as he seemed to be alluding to. A lot of working people and managers (US/UK) are tired of "auditing each other to death", and that auditing has become a growing "plague on the job(s)".
Ohh.. And another thing I find disturbing, is that when things have gone well, a goal or quota has been reached in production. Every team gets a cake! :/
I refuse to eat the cake, nowadays, because of a variety reasons.
Mainly by the feeling of, that we are all really 'short-changed' by the company. (And my stomach gets upset by cream.
)
Have you guys experienced anything like this at your job?
This whole "team" concept with a "coach" gives me the creeps.
Now we are 'jocks' all of a sudden?
Maybe flexibility doesn't 'have' to be an entirely bad thing.
So.. Lets find some articles on this subject, that is if you all want to?
Maybe I should go mainstream and publish my own useless blogg?
Well.. Time to hit the sack!
