Iain Levison can find work but not fulfillment. The frustration of deadend, deadhead labor induces a kind of pinkslip payback syndrome as the realization sets in that his college degree will gain him little by way of psychic wages on the job. He is adrift in a workaday world where one human is as good as the next and all are expendable. Meaningless promises abound, like when they were telling us [at commencement that] we were the future of the world, the bright shining blah blah blah.In ten years, Iain Levison has lived in six states and worked at fortytwo jobs, from fish cutter in Alaska to furniture mover in North Carolina, filmset gopher, oil deliveryman, truck driver, crab fisherman . . . He quit thirty of them, got fired from nine, and has difficulty remembering the other three. Whatever could go wrong often did, hilariously.A Working Stiffs Manifesto makes Nickel and Dimed look like chump change. It is a funny book about the notsofunny American workplace. The real thing, written not by a highpriced journalist disguised as a counter clerk, or a tenured professor passing as a vagrant, but by a genuine wagedependent, redblooded working stiff too rich for welfare and too broke to fit a consumer demographic. He works to keep his car running to get back and forth from work. He works to get by and get back to square one for the next days labors.
