Ehrenreich writes much of this seeminly tongue-in-cheek. You can easily read between the lines. Some of this is laugh-out-loud funny, until you consider this is nonfiction! Then, it might give you shivers.

Even more important than when it was first published, this should comfort anyone who works for any company anywhere. It will also be tempting to leave copies on the desks of management.

Excellent and tragic at the same time. Good insight and info on traps that the unemployed can fall into in the hopes of getting that white collar job.

"The book is written exceptionally well, is quite funny, and ...it is well worth reading. In fact I think every corporate executive who has a role in determining the fate of middle managers should read this book if for no other reason than getting a first hand glimpse at the impact of their decisions." amazon
