Do you shop? you should read this book. I would have rated it higher, but i did find Kelly's incredulity about the state of American retail a bit naive (read: annoying). Really? Never worked with anyone without a degree? Shocked that part time associates don't get benefits? Horrified that retail workers generally make little more than minimum wage? Where has Kelly been, an ivory tower? Regardless, Kelly's words ring true. Retail workers are cannon fodder, punching bags, assumed to be stupid, etc. For sure, some of them are. But what other business model would find 50% turnover at 90 days and almost 100% at a year acceptable? Read it. While I understand the plight of retail work (I have been there myself), I don't think working one or two days a week for a couple years can be called a career. It might have given her a better understanding of what it is like to get out and work a demeaning job, but there are people who do this for a living, every day, full time. It was an interesting book and a good read, but I wasn't fascinated. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Overall, I enjoyed this book much less than I had anticipated. Ehrenreich’s “Nickel and Dimed” is a much more interesting and genuine recounting of a journalist in retail and hourly work. ( )
