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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738031259936,"sku":"NEW0316561878","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61Gfb6KEQRL.jpg?v=1779581264","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/lab-rats-tech-gurus-junk-science-and-management-fads-my-quest-to-make-work-less-miserable-0316561878","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
