Aronowitz, S., & Difazio W. (1994).  The Jobless Future: Sci-Tech and the Dogma of Work.
"In the past twenty-five years, computer-mediated work, despite its potential for reintegrating design and execution, has been employed, typically but not exclusively, in a manner that reproduces the hierarchies of managerial authority. The division between intellectual and manual labor and the degradation of manual labor that was characteristic of the industrializing era have been simultaneously shifted to the division between the operators and the professional-managerial employees, but also the division between the "lower" operating and "higher" expert orders broadly reproduces within intellectual labor itself the old gulf separating manual and intellectual labor in the mechanical era. Hierarchy is frequently maintained despite the integrative possibilities of the technology. Under this regime of production, the computer provides the basis for greatly extending the system of discipline and control inherited from nineteenth-century capitalism. Many corporations have used it to extend their Panopticonic world-view; that is, they have deployed the computer as a means of employee surveillance that far exceeds the most imperious dreams of the Panopticon's inventor, Jeremy Bentham, or any nineteenth- or early twentieth-century capitalist." (p. 89)
Bridges, W. (1994).  Jobshift.
"The integrity I am talking about is psychological rather than ethical. It means 'wholeness', and its opposite is disintegration and not dishonesty. With so much change and fragmentation in the new career world, you need a solid core of self. You have to be true to who you are—to your identity." (p. 129)

Dent, H. S. (1995).  Job Shock: Four New Principles Transforming Our Work and Business.
"Charge a healthy fee for the right brain, more complex and human services where you don't compete with computers." (p. 236)

Kao, J. J. (1996).  Jamming: The Art and Discipline of Business Creativity.
"To provide the 'glue' that encourages loyalty, Bain makes its proprietary computer database available to its alumni and alumnae, who are free to roam the company's virtual spaces in search of information on companies, contacts, business intelligence, and new methodologies. It underscores the belief that once employed by the firm, you are always considered part of the family, and that its responsibility to you extends beyond the term of employment." (p. 127)
