Few punches are pulled in this revealing, often explosive account of one man's honest steps through diverse working environments and their murky sub-cultures. Each workplace, from roadside restaurant to bank, parcel depot and gardening carries its own tensions and conflicts, with a mobile aids factory coming under particular scrutiny.

From clock-watching pettiness to ruthless creativity in introducing meaningless rules that ride roughshod over ordinary workers' needs and rights.
