Applying the Lacanian psychoanalytical approach to the discursive level, the studies in the West indicate that informal workplace practices reproduce the relations of authority and subordination, while seemingly suspending the authority and control of management through cynical performances against organisational ideals. Likewise, departing from the evidences of workplace and labour process studies in Turkey, this article argues that workers reproduce the hegemony of factory management by exhibiting cynicism and mockery against the principles of production, misrecognising the loose workplace discipline through fantasies of family and freedom and otherising their peers who are different on the ethno-religious basis. The categories of clinical psychoanalysis such as fantasy and desire play an important role in the ideological discursive critique of workplace practices.
