Download or read book Office Ladies and Salaried Men written by Yuko Ogasawara and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In large corporations in Japan, much of the clerical work is carried out by young women known as "office ladies" (OLs) or "flowers of the workplace." Largely nameless, OLs serve tea to the men and type and file their reports. They are exempt from the traditional lifetime employment and have few opportunities for promotion. In this engaging ethnography, Yuko Ogasawara exposes the ways that these women resist men's power, and why the men, despite their exclusive command of authority, often subject themselves to the women's control. Ogasawara, a Japanese sociologist trained in the United States, skillfully mines perceptive participant-observation analyses and numerous interviews to outline the tensions and humiliations of OL work. She details the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that OLs who are frustrated by demeaning, dead-end jobs thwart their managers and subvert the power structure to their advantage. Using gossip, outright work refusal, and public gift-giving as manipulative strategies, they can ultimately make or break the careers of the men. This intimate and absorbing analysis illustrates how the relationships between women and work, and women and men, are far more complex than the previous literature has shown.

Download or read book Not the Salary But the Opportunity written by Orison Swett Marden and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The value of a job comes not only in the paycheck but also in the chance to learn new skills and absorb the secrets of business. Self-help pioneer Orison Swett Marden-the preeminent motivational expert of the early 20th century and a forerunner of Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale, Stephen R. Covey and Anthony Robbins-recognized this truth a century ago, and in this concise 1909 work, he explains how to find the "salary" beyond mere dollars and sense. From the vital importance of self-respect to the best way to cultivate the right attitude for success in the business world, Marden's advice is just as timely today as it was a century ago...and just as useful. American writer and editor ORISON SWETT MARDEN (1850-1924) was born in New England and studied at Boston University and Andover Theological Seminary. In 1897, he founded Success Magazine.
