“Barbara Ehrenreich 的 Nickel and Dimed 探讨了低薪劳工的生活。如今，在 Bait and Switch 中，她涉足了经济领域的另一个隐秘角落：白领失业者不见天日的世界。”“Bait and Switch 聚焦于那些做对了一切的人——拥有大学文凭、掌握市场所需技能、简历令人印象深刻——却依然屡次面临陷入财务灾难的困境，而这并不仅仅是由于商业周期的变幻莫测。如今追求极度精简的企业以裁减‘过剩’员工为傲，使他们长达数月乃至数年陷入

经济这么拉胯，直接把失业人员刷掉不过是为了更容易削减递给招聘经理的简历堆。这根本不算啥新鲜事——去读读 Barbara Ehrenreich 的《Bait and Switch》吧，早在 2006 年经济繁荣期那会儿，她就讨论过这个问题了。http://www.barbaraehrenreich.com/baitandswitch.htm 。
With the economy in the tank, disqualifying the unemployed simply makes it easier to reduce the stack of resumes which must be passed to the hiring manager. It is hardly news - read Bait and Switch by Barbara Ehrenreich which covered this issue while the boom was still happening in 2006. http://www.barbaraehrenreich.com/baitandswitch.htm .
……节奏类似，还有一本篇幅短得多的书，讲的是中世纪医疗实践中带有性别色彩的职业化/摧毁，书名叫《Witches, Midwives, and Nurses》（或者叫“W.M.N.”[3]）。不过她那本关于白领失业产业的《Bait and Switch》[4]，我觉得既枯燥又没什么启发。0. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1869.Nickel_and_Dimed 1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24452.Dancing_in_the_Str...……
…of similar pacing, as well as a much shorter book on the gendered professionalization/demolition of the medical practice in the medieval era titled "Witches, Midwives, and Nurses" or "W.M.N."[3] Her "Bait and Switch,"[4] however, about the white-collar unemployment industry I found dull and unenlightening. 0. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1869.Nickel_and_Dimed 1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24452.Dancing_in_the_Str...…
被谁枪毙掉？又没人拦着不让你自己挂牌做 recruiter。我当时想表达的就是这个。Edit：招聘猎头正是 Ehrenreich 在《Bait and Switch》里描述的那种“自创饭碗”之一。
Shot down by whom? There's nothing preventing someone from hanging a shingle as a recruiter. That's what I was getting at. Edit: Recruiting is one of those "make your own jobs" Ehrenreich describes in Bait and Switch.
……此外，在逻辑实证主义框架下，“专注”（concentrate）带来的问题并不比“查克拉”（chakra）少。但这并不是否认很多人生导师（life coaches）可能满嘴跑火车（FOS）——我发现 Ehrenreich 在《Bait and Switch》中对他们的描述与我自己的观察完全一致。
…Furthermore, "concentrate" is no less problematic than "chakra" within a logical-positivist framework. None of which is to deny that many life coaches may be FOS -- I found Ehrenreich's description of them in Bait and Switch consistent with my observations.
……也跟着发财。这更像是一个多层传销（multilevel marketing）骗局——并不是说没人能靠这个暴富，但整个行当看着让人压抑，不是我会想去读的内容——好吧，Barbara Ehrenreich 的《Bait and Switch》倒还挺有意思的。不过话说回来。
…getting rich too. It's more a multilevel marketing scheme - which doesn't mean someone won't rich here but the entire enterprise is grim and not something I'd want to read about - well, Barbara Ehrenreich's Bait And Switch is somewhat interesting. But still.
