L'open space m'a tuer

Synopsis of L'open space m'a tuer

«L'open space m'a tuer» is the satirical essay by Alexandre Des Isnards and Thomas Zuber, published by Pocket in paperback (224 pages, in French).

Drawing on their professional experience and testimonies, the authors portray the daily life of young executives in open-plan offices: pressure, constant surveillance, stress and burnout. With acid humour, the work criticises contemporary management methods and shows how constant performance turns the office into a hostile setting where many come to consider resigning.

The original work dates from 2008; this expanded Pocket edition was published on 5 March 2015.

Recommended for office professionals and readers interested in social criticism of contemporary work.
