BROOM (2)
'Dr Broom', she said, 'may I give you a tip? It's meetings and things that we all like to skip. We've all read our Sennett. We endorse all his views on the pitfalls of teamwork; managerial ruse to ensure that the buck stops with us.'
I paused with my dustpan and brush.
'Indeed. Team meetings perpetuate the worst fallacy; that we're anything but a dysfunctional family. It can't be denied we're a kind of community but it doesn't include the idea of solidarity. It merely provides managerial immunity from accountability and blame'.
Contradiction, I knew, would sound lame so I carried on brushing as I felt my face flushing. (As for her, she was rushing for the train.)
