Dying for a Paycheck: How Modern Management Harms Employee Health and Company Performance--And What We Can Do about It by Jeffrey Pfeffer

3.0

Strong book. Wasted a bit of time showing all of its work (in a very academic way). I got impatient with it -- I was like, "I get it, layoffs are very unhealthy. Layoffs kill people. Get on with the rest of your point!" on a few occasions. But overall, I think the thoroughness is necessary, because the book is suggesting that we rethink the culture and policies that surround how corporations relate to labor. Also, the examples given in the book were shallow and common; I wish there could have been deeper case studies on companies that do this well and right, and not just the usual suspects.
