bouché, quiconque subit du harcèlement au travail et de la violence psychologique et sociale sera ici en terrain connu. On y lit les mœurs réfrigérantes et le néo-cynisme de lépoque occupée à pleine capacité par la lutte des places, le narcissisme ambiant et la mort de lempathie. Considérés miroirs déformants, coupables éhontés ou menteurs de première, on abandonne les gens brisés si jamais on a pris le temps dentendre ce quils peinent à raconter. Stress garanti. Cœurs serrés. Rythme denfer. Fidèle à sa manière, Hélène Monette allie prose, poésie, lyrisme et rythme fulgurant. Elle dénonce avec lénergie du désespoir et la force de ses mots les conditions de travail de ce quon nomme maintenant le capital humain. " -- 4e de couv.Outrage: Canada's justice system on trial

house. Having worked her way up from the bottom--under women and men, leaders good and bad--she believes it's time we leaped past the question of how women might create change in the working world and exploit the fact that profound change is already under way. The digital revolution, and the wave of millennials who are entering the work force with very different expectations than the generations who preceded them, have created a new reality that demands a new style of leader with attributes and perspectives that make women the natural front-runners.
