I love this question. I'm a union organizer, you know.I read Bartleby a couple years ago with a group at work. I've had some members who have come close to being Bartleby. If the Human Resource person is a good problem solver --and I work with some of those--we often can figure out what the person does do well and find a place for him/her. But Bartleby!! Holy cow!! I wouldn't want this one to land in my lap. I think this one goes to some kind of social services.
Did you miss the meeting? Or did we fail to discuss all the questions? Perhaps something slipped your mind, or only occurred to you later. If so, here's your chance to continue the conversation. For the time being, this blog is open for comment only to registered members of the book group. Other readers may contact me at hcrane@cambridgema.gov. Please, no flaming or cussing.
