Okay, it&#8217;s more like employee performance and happiness.</p>

<p>As first reported in the <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/02/08/pret-a-manger-happy-forced-cheer/" target="_blank">London Review of Books</a>, the fast food chain enforces behaviors with a &#8220;regime of surveillance and assessment.&#8221;</p>
