Edited by Jan Baars and Henk Visser
The aim of this volume is to revitalize the debate about the concepts of time implicit in the study of aging. The many problems related to
aging and the aged put an enormous pressure on the gerontological community to come up with practical applications and solutions. But

Excess Baggage: Leveling the Load and Changing the Workplace
Ellen Rosskam
An expert in her field, Rosskam removes the "glamour" of airport check-in workers, revealing psychological
distress, physical pain, strain, and violence, comparing the job to industrial workplaces with manual
lifting, obligingly performed in skirts and pretty little shoes. Rosskam demonstrates the way destructive
and disempowering management practices have direct adverse consequences for workers' health, well-being, and
performance on the job. She describes the insidious role of "dehumanizing" managers- disturbingly
proliferating in today's workplaces-in undermining workers' health, and the effects this has on an
organization's "bottom line." The behavioral and personality characteristics of perverse individuals in the
workplace are presented, followed by recommendations for organizational change.
