spirit, I read lots and lots of these books. My inner world was coming alive again and my relationship with the “real world” outside was coming to an end. My promising career in international banking came to a close. In my early thirties I moved to San Francisco. Eventually, I got a friendly divorce and kept searching for the answer to what would make me happy. My former wife and I are still the best of friends. During this period of soul searching to find the answer of how to be happy, I would take high

De nouvelles organisations militantes telles que le Parti des Black Panthers, fondé par Huey P. Newton et Bobby Seale, se créent pour organiser le mécontentement des Noirs dans les villes de l’Ouest, principalement Oakland (en banlieue de San-Francisco).

They prefer systems, machines, routines, and rules that are automatic and totally reliable. The need to do "real engineering" or basic design drives them toward simplicity, elegance, and routinized solutions that often ignore the social realities of the workplace (Kunda, 1992; Thomas, 1994), I have often overheard conversations like the one I heard most recently from a couple of MIT engineers

Le task system consistait à donner certaines tâches à exécuter aux esclaves, qui, une fois finies, pouvaient aller s’occuper de la manière qu’ils voulaient ; tandis que le gang system, plus contraignant pour les esclaves, sous l’autorité d’un « driver », des équipes d’esclaves répétaient la même tâche tout au long de la journée, chacun ayant un travail spécifique. On associe ce type de travail au « travail à la chaîne » moderne. Les esclaves étaient également les victimes permanentes d’un système

d'être élu homme de l'année par le magazine Time, Intel est le genre d'entreprise où rêvent de travailler tous les étudiants de la côte ouest des États-Unis. Mais justement, quelques dazibaos commencent à fleurir sur les murs de l'université de San Francisco. Intitulés «Les secrets internes d'Intel», ils parlent de suicides d'employés, de discrimination raciale, d'exploitation d'étudiants étrangers... Et renvoient à un site Internet, Face Intel.
