Classy

Nice book, insightful stuff. It is a bit like a powerpoint presentation put into a book, but that does make it easy to read.

Hidden Rules of Class at Work

Payne points out some of the unspoken rules of class in the world of work. While much of what she says in this work is also found in her earlier work, her application of this material to the work place is very helpful. While she doesn't explicitly say it, she implies that people of the middle class, who attempt to minister to people of the lower socioeconomic level, find themselves also dealing with members of the upper class who have their own hidden rules of class, and it is helpful to be aware of these rules.

Excellent "That's Absolutely Right Book".

This is one of those books that you read and you think to yourself, that's right, how come I hadn't thought of that. It sort of helps open one's eyes to the truth of class and elitism in groups and people who in our everyday lives project themselves as common folk, as part of the people, yet symbolism, ritual, attitudes, conscious and not say otherwise. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a supervisor, a boss, and anyone who is a supervisor and/or a boss.
