Product Description
Hidden Rules of Class at Work takes a look at how economic class influences - often subtly yet significantly - behaviors that show up in the workplace and an understanding of how the levels of an organization reflect the hidden rules of class. PWritten for people who supervise others, the book provides tools to identify an individual's strengths and weaknesses by looking at his/her resources and an understanding of how economic class influences opportunities to develop resources. It is based on a research study by the authors on the correlation between an individual's resources and his/her promotion and success in the workplace. Each chapter gives the correlates and provides some practical answers as to how to use the information. More eye-opening learning from aha! Process. Inc.

Nice book, insightful stuff. It is a bit like a powerpoint presentation put into a book, but that does make it easy to read.

Don't waste you time reading this hodge-podge of ill-digested psycho-bable or waste your money buying it. It will tell you nothing of interest or usefulness and it doesn't understand the issues of class at all.br /And, what is worse, it is extremely poorly written.

Payne points out some of the unspoken rules of class in the world of work. While much of what she says in this work is also found in her earlier work, her application of this material to the work place is very helpful. While she doesn't explicitly say it, she implies that people of the middle class, who attempt to minister to people of the lower socioeconomic level, find themselves also dealing with members of the upper class who have their own hidden rules of class, and it is helpful to be aware of these rules.

Excellent "That's Absolutely Right Book". September 7, 2005

This is one of those books that you read and you think to yourself, that's right, how come I hadn't thought of that. It sort of helps open one's eyes to the truth of class and elitism in groups and people who in our everyday lives project themselves as common folk, as part of the people, yet symbolism, ritual, attitudes, conscious and not say otherwise. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a supervisor, a boss, and anyone who is a supervisor and/or a boss.
