If the worker and his boss enjoy the same television program and visit the same resort places, if the typist is as attractively made up as the daughter of her employer, if the negro owns a cadillac, if they all read the same newspaper, then this assimilation indicates not the disappearance of classes, but the extent to which the needs and satisfactions that serve the preservation of the establishment are shared by the underlying population.

If The Worker And His Boss Enjoy

Herbert Marcuse

If the worker and his boss enjoy the same television program and visit the same resort places, if the typist is as attractively made up as the daughter of her employer, if the negro owns a cadillac, if they all read the same newspaper, then this assimilation indicates not the disappearance of classes, but the extent to which the needs and satisfactions that serve the preservation of the establishment are shared by the underlying population.

More From Herbert Marcuse

I am working in my office. i've got a boss who tells me what to do. he's got a boss who tells him what to do. and above him is another boss who probably is telling my boss in the same way - or my boss' boss in the same way what to do. in actuality, this is not the way things work. management science says that that kind of a chain doesn't work more than three levels up.

I maintain that i have been a negro three times--a negro baby, a negro girl and a negro woman. still, if you have received no clear cut impression of what the negro in america is like, then you are in the same place with me. there is no the negro here. our lives are so diversified, internal attitudes so varied, appearances and capabilities so different, that there is no possible classification so catholic that it will cover us all, except my people! my people!

A good man likes a hard boss. i don't mean a nagging boss or a grouchy boss. i mean a boss who insists on things being done right and on time; a boss who is watching things closely enough so that he knows a good job from a poor one. nothing is more discouraging to a good man than a boss who is not on the job, and who does not know whether things are going well or badly.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

If the boss is a jerk, get over it. first of all, don't you think there's a good chance that your boss's boss knows what's going on? if so, just keep your head down and do the work. usually, if you put in maximum effort and produce excellent results, someone in the company is going to take notice. either you will get promoted or your jerky boss will get the heave-ho. it happens all the time.

His master’s pain was his pain. and it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. when the house started burning down, that type of negro would fight harder to put the master’s house out than the master himself would. but then you had another negro out in the field. the house negro was in the minority. the masses—the field negroes were the masses. they were in the majority. when the master got sick, they prayed that he’d die. if his house caught on fire, they'd pray for a wind to come along and fan the breeze.
