BBC Two - Billion Dollar Deals and How They Changed Your World, Series 1, Work

How did work go from being what we do to who we are?

Jacques Peretti learns how we went from clocking on and off to checking our work email at all hours. How did work go from being what we do to who we are?

How did we go from clocking on and off to checking our work email in the middle of the night and working four jobs simultaneously? How did work go from being what we do to who we are?

From the creation of shared values in the workplace in the 1980s to the deal that ushered in inflated executive pay and zero job security, Jacques reveals how key decisions over the past decades have revolutionised the workplace and our perception of work itself. He also looks at automation in the workplace. But will the age of the robot make our working lives easier or make us redundant as a species?
