Publisher's Summary:
New York Times bestselling author Dan Lyons exposes how the 'new oligarchs' of Silicon Valley have turned technology into a tool for oppressing workers in this 'passionate' (Kirkus) and 'darkly funny' (Publishers Weekly) examination of workplace culture.At a time of soaring corporate profits and plenty of HR lip service about 'wellness,' millions of workers--in virtually every industry--are deeply unhappy. Why did work become so miserable? Who is responsible? And does any company have a model for doing it right?For two years, Lyons ventured in search of answers. From the innovation-crazed headquarters of the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, to a cult-like 'Holocracy' workshop in San Francisco, and to corporate trainers who specialize in ... Legos, Lyons immersed himself in the often half-baked and frequently lucrative world of what passes for management science today. He shows how new tools, workplace practices, and business models championed by tech's empathy-impaired power brokers have shattered the social contract that once existed between companies and their employees. These dystopian beliefs--often masked by pithy slogans like 'We're a Team, Not a Family'--have dire consequences: millions of workers who are subject to constant change, dehumanizing technologies--even health risks. A few companies, however, get it right. With Lab Rats, Lyons makes a passionate plea for business leaders to understand this dangerous transformation, showing how profit and happy employees can indeed coexist.
