Résumé
Dans les entreprises, les aménagements officieux et discrétionnaires restent un moyen très répandu pour régler les problèmes de conciliation des employés. Cependant, une étude menée dans des entreprises montréalaises de la nouvelle économie révèle que cette pratique est également un outil important de contrôle pour les supérieurs immédiats. Ceux-ci, bénéficiant d’une grande liberté d’action, utilisent l’octroi d’aménagements comme moyen de récompenser la flexibilité et la disponibilité de leurs employés. Dans cette situation, pour parfois travailler moins, il faut souvent travailler plus, car les heures supplémentaires non rémunérées sont le moyen clef de négociation.
Abstract
Since the 1960s, the French-speaking Montréal business class have formulated various representations of the economic and urban restructuring problems that the metropolitan area has had to face. They have also thought of several solutions. Beginning with the postulate that in the economic analysis of the city, discourse and representations have taken on greater importance, the authors examine the representations of the decline and recovery of Montréal as covered in articles published in the French-language business press between January 1960 and January 2003. First, six recurring themes can be found : the status in Montréal within Québec, the decline of Montréal’s economy in comparison with that of Toronto, local and metropolitan governance, the role of the State, the entrepreneurship of the business class, and the contribution of the new economy to Montréal’s recovery. Secondly, we examine the scope of the discourse of the business class regarding government policies and programs focusing on the recovery of Québec’s largest city.
