The Living Dead is full of staggering statistics that show that a large proportion of the global workforce is so bored and disillusioned with the workplace that they employ a bewildering range of diversionary tactics to get them through the days, weeks, months and years. Surveys show that: One in three people has taken class A and B drugs such as ecstasy, cocaine, cannabis and amyl nitrate at work One in five US workers has had sex with a co-worker during work hours 70% of internet porn sites are accessed during the 9 to 5 working day One in three midweek visitors to a major UK theme park is pulling a sickie from work In the UK alone, doctors receive 9 million (equivalent to the entire population of Sweden) ‘suspect’ requests for sick notes each year 14.6% of US office workers surf the web constantly Over half the UK’s 14.5 million animal owners said that they would need between two and five days off work to grieve for the loss of a treasured pet. 10% said they would need as much as two weeks. Throwing sickies, surfing the web, constant personal emailing, turning up hung-over and serial flirtation with colleagues have become the accepted norm at work. Just why are so many of us so mind-numbingly bored and disengaged with our jobs? The Living Dead tells us why and shows us how to break the cycle of disenchantment.
