The Working Day

£3.00

Someone stands up and asks the room if anyone wants a tea. Watch what happens next and you'll learn more about that workplace in ninety seconds than a fortnight of policy documents would tell you.

This is an anthropologist's look at ordinary British workplaces, from offices and wards to warehouses and vans: the mugs, the rota, the dashboard and the rules nobody wrote down. It covers class and rank, emotional labour, insecure work and being always on call, and it's honest about where the research runs thin.

What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (151 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
