We all play games at work - but have you ever wondered how your
identity becomes bound up with game playing? This book is about
employees in the Higher Education workplace and it provides an
interpretation of why people act the way they do at work as an
expression of game playing. It offers an insight into how people
try to adapt and fit in at work by looking at how value is attached
to certain identities through the lens of class and gender. The
figure of the 'chav', the 'emotional woman', 'The Grafter', and
'Mrs. Bucket', are explored in detail as representations of what
kinds of people are permitted, or not, to fit in at work. These
identities are topical, and may even be familiar to readers, but
the author's analysis of them challenges why they exist, what
function these identities serve at work, and who is able to deploy
and inscribe them as part of the games people play at work.
