Summary

"If you followed the stock market in the 1990s, or looked only at the corporate bottom line, it seemed like the best of times. But look into the lives of most working men and women, and surely we are living in the worst of times. Media attention has focused either on the horrors of massive layoffs or on episodic explosions of corporate violence. But for those millions of Americans who have neither been laid off nor "gone postal," life at the office has become a corporate nightmare: seven-day-a-week work loads; reduced salaries, pensions, or benefits; virtual enslavement to technology; and a pervasive fear about job security. What has happened to the American dream?".

"With facts, figures, and telling case histories, Jill Andresky Fraser chronicles this catastrophic sea change in industry after industry: telecommunications, the media, banking, information technology, Wall Street. Her book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of the American economy... or worried about his or her own job."--BOOK JACKET.
