No way to earn a living

The second extract from Phil Whiteley's book, Meet the New Boss, published exclusively on Management Issues, records how the working experience played a formative role in rock and pop music - and the lyrical legacy this leaves.

"Work is like sex" opens up chapter one of Philip Whiteley's new book, Meet The New Boss, an entertaining look at the influence of literature, music and comedy on how we view work. So how is work like sex? And what does it have to do with Morrissey's lyrics? Read on to find out.

Britain's employers could face delays and extra costs with submitting crucial end-of-year tax forms, as a leaked Inland Revenue memo indicated that its web systems may not be ready in time.
