How can workers attempt to take back some degree of control and autonomy when they work in bureaucracies that closely monitor and control their work environments?

Bureaucracies

Complex structures of offices, tasks, rules, and principles of organization that are employed by large institutions to coordinate the work of their members.

Autonomy

The capacity to make an informed, uncoerced decision, or a state of self-governance or independence in thought and actions.

Control

The power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events, often exercised through rules, regulations, or manipulation.
