On Wednesday, November 20, the sociology department of the La Boétie Institute presented the second session of Danièle Linhart's chair, "Modern management or the mirage of the happy executant". 00:00:00 Introduction by Marlène Benquet 00:03:10 Conference by Danièle Linhart 01:13:26 Discussions with the audience After a first session devoted to Taylorism, Danièle Linhart continued her chair by extending her reflection on exploitation methods. What is this malaise among employees in the era of "fulfillment" and "self-realization" at work? We feel this malaise, we see it around us, in our professional lives, we represent it in works of literature or cinema. And yet, in the public media debate, it is a non-issue. Silence in the ranks: all is well in the best of all possible worlds. In this conference, Danièle Linhart dissects "modern management", demystifying its false promises of autonomy in work, flexibility, audacity and the valorization of individual qualities. On the contrary, she shows how "modern management" transforms employees into "apprentices for life", confronted with incessant changes in procedures, reorganizations imagined by consulting firms and other outsourcing. A fundamental decryption for those who want to imagine alternatives.
