About the book

Why Job Fever?

Because I've met so many intelligent, trained people who spend their lives working for others; and because there is as much natural ability and nous on the factory floor as in the executive suite.

Acknowledgment

Thanks to my daughter, Margot O'Neill, for her lively interest in Job Fever and her equally lively encouragement for me to put pen to paper.

Thanks to my secretary without peer, Nadia Curnick. Nadia has (God knows how) managed to decipher my hand written scribble and transcribe it into legible form. This involved many hours of concentration and sheer hard work.
