Philosophy | | English term or phrase: the apples in the company directors’ eyes | | If highly qualified professionals, the apples in the company directors’ eyes, are all too often offered at the place of work a seductive and hopefully agreeable substitute for the cosy homeliness badly missing at home (as Hochschild notes, the traditional division of roles between workplace and family homestead tends to be for them reversed) - nothing is offered for the employees lower in rank, less skilled and easily replaceable. |
