Quotes

• When I first started having a Saturday job, the way you were disciplined was you'd have a little kind of clocking on card that you stamped and it registered the time you arrived at work and the time that you left work, and it was very kind of clear really what you were selling was your labour for a certain number of hours. Now with unconscious bias training, it almost feels as if what you're selling is your soul, quite literally. You know, it's your thoughts, it's your unconscious that the bosses have control over and have access to. And I think this kind of equality, diversity, inclusion, environmental, social, governance agenda, you know it's a very useful tool for the kind of capitalist class, if you like, to regulate themselves, relate to eachother and I think, most importantly, to be able to discipline the workforce.
