SABOTAGE IN THE
AMERICAN WORKPLACE
Anecdotes of Dissatisfaction, Mischief and Revenge
Edited by Martin Sprouse
Sabotage In The American Work-place, a controversial expose of the way America really works, is a book that bosses will want to keep out of their employees' hands. It provides new insight into both the scale and the reasoning behind sabotage, and proves beyond doubt that even the most mild-mannered are liable to use some form of sabotage during their working lives.
Authentic firsthand accounts gathered from all over the United States dispel the myth of the model worker, and show that the majority of employees see the stealing of time, company property and profits as a remedy to the daily frustrations and conflicts encountered while earning a living from a job.
Safeguarded by anonymity, contributors talk candidly about using sabotage as a means of surviving work. People as diverse as bank tellers, machinists, paramedics, flight attendants and paperboys describe how they creatively
strike back at monotony, low pay, bad company ethics, poor working conditions, harassment, and asshole bosses.
The sabotage ranges from quiet acts of slacking off and petty theft, to placing computer logic bombs, armed robbery and wholesale destruction of company property. Motives range from altruism to an overwhelming desire for revenge.
This unique book gives the inside story on the American work experience. Redefining sabotage as a significant and widespread reaction to the problems of work, it challenges the accepted idea that a worker's first allegiance is to the company. Sabotage In The American Workplace is the antithesis of the employee training manual. Anyone who has ever dreaded another day at work should read it.
