There will be few office workers, whether they are bosses, sekketries or office crones, who do not recognize the Machiavellian politics and the lunacies she describes.

Download or read book Nine to Five written by Joanna L. Grossman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine to Five provides a lively and accessible introduction to the laws and policies regulating sex, sexuality, and gender identity in the American workplace. Contemporary cases and events reveal the breadth and persistence of sexism and gender stereotyping. Through a series of essays organized around sex discrimination, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, and pay equity, the book highlights legal rules and doctrines that privilege men over women and masculinity over femininity. In understanding the law - what it forbids, what it allows, and to what it turns a blind eye - we see why it is far too soon to declare the triumph of working women's equality. Despite significant gains for women, gender continues to define the work experience in both predictable and surprising ways. A witty and engaging guide to the legal terrain, Nine to Five also proposes solutions to the many obstacles that remain on the path to equality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not the Everyday Nine to Five is a story that encompasses many things in life. In the beginning, we meet our main character in the play named Bob. He is a man who is indulgent in copious drug abuse and has a heart for the arts, film, and music. We find out in the story that he is an artist and musician looking to find work in either of those areas but keeps finding himself coming up empty-handed. During a drinking night at the bar with a few of his friends, he runs into a group of girls for who he buys drinks for. One of the girls named Claudia is a woman studying art at the University of Michigan. Bob and Claudia hit it off quickly and begin dating. Over the course of a few months, they learn a lot about each other and have sophisticated and intellectual conversations about the world, life, and art. During the course of the play Bob, a mental health patient, who is on heavy sedatives, is also a heavy drinker, and a pot smoker decides to quit it all because he's afraid that this lifestyle will lead him down a deadly path to his premature demise. A few weeks into his life of sobriety he gets ill but rises through with the help of his girlfriend Claudia. Shortly after he quits all of the drugs he was abusing, Claudia moves away to go to art school in San Francisco at the Academy of Art University. After she leaves, Bob finds himself struggling at coming up with creativity for his artwork. He finds creative ways to liberate himself from this position by hallucinating pictures that are in his head and draws the outlines and shading from what he sees visually onto the paper and canvas. Shortly thereafter, he realizes that he's gotten himself in a pool of debt and wants to find a way out, so he decides to try to get into the army as a musician. At the recruiter's office, he finds himself nodding off in the back room where he was supposed to get his paperwork filled out and goes into a dreamland of make-believe with all sorts of fantastic creatures that he would like to draw out. Briefly, after he wakes up the Army recruiters figure out he has a mental illness through their background check. Ultimately and unfortunately his chances of being recruited into the military are null and void. Subsequently, he becomes hell-bent on writing a story and he decides to write a book about his life which is the actual story itself. During the process of becoming a writer, he finds himself hallucinating words on the page, and words and sentences alike disappear before his eyes. This becomes an enormous burden for him and this eventually leads to a meltdown and he destroys his apartment. One of the tenants in the building hears his destruction taking place and he calls the police. When the officer arrives to check out the situation, Bob lies about what happened saying he invited some friends over and that they did this to him. The officer, knowing very well that Bob was the actual perpetrator of the incident, gets to the bottom of the situation and persuades Bob into confessing rather quickly. The officer knows he has a past history of mental illness and informs Bob that he should go to the psychiatric hospital. Bob gives the officer the okay to call the paramedics and goes to the hospital. At the hospital, Bob tries hard to stay away from taking any medication, but they force an injection on him which turns his world upside down. He sleeps continually and can't eat, and the constant feeling of illness drives him to suicide. He slams his head through a window and slices his neck on the sharp, jagged fragments of the remaining glass. In the alternate ending, we find Bob waking and realizing he's in a hospital bed with Claudia by his side. Once he has woken completely he finds out from Claudia that he was in a coma for a week due to being hit in the head by someone with a pool cue one night at a bar. He then figures out that he had dreamed up getting off his medications and the drinking and pot smoking he indulged in and everything from that point on till the end.

Download or read book These Kids written by Kysa Nygreen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few would deny that getting ahead is a legitimate goal of learning, but the phrase implies a cruel hierarchy: a student does not simply get ahead, but gets ahead of others. In These Kids, Kysa Nygreen turns a critical eye on this paradox. Offering the voices and viewpoints of students at a “last chance” high school in California, she tells the story of students who have, in fact, been left behind. Detailing a youth-led participatory action research project that she coordinated, Nygreen uncovers deep barriers to educational success that are embedded within educational discourse itself. Struggling students internalize descriptions of themselves as “at risk,” “low achieving,” or “troubled”—and by adopting the very language of educators, they also adopt its constraints and presumption of failure. Showing how current educational discourse does not, ultimately, provide an adequate vision of change for students at the bottom of the educational hierarchy, she levies a powerful argument that social justice in education is impossible today precisely because of how we talk about it.
