Work is a Four-letter Word: 'There Aren't Enough Idiots to go Round'

on BBC Two England

The first of six programmes

Should workers tolerate boring work that could be done by monkeys or machines? Twenty-three million people go to work each day. Many have more ability than their job requires. Many are bored, frustrated and hypnotised by the unending sameness of their work. Should companies be doing more to make work something that employees can enjoy?
