About this listen
If we've never entered the corporate world, we might believe it's full of respectable adults, professionals who know their craft, people who are responsible, and those who generally get the job done. We could be in for a surprise. All those slackers, half-wits, and indifferent people we knew in high school or even college had to get a job somewhere, and many ended up in the corporate world.
And now we're there beside them, trying to do our job despite their incompetence, laziness, and irresponsibility. And those are the good parts! Never mind the gossiping, setting us up for failure, and throwing us under the bus. It's not all bad, of course, but the twists and turns of the sometimes Machiavellian corporate world are best prepared for and seen coming.
Taken from his forthcoming book, The Corporate Hell Survival Guide, Randy Zinn dispenses his tips and wisdom from over two decades of life in Corporate America. These short tips are a primer for what's in store for the unwary. There will be no lakes of fire, deals with the devil, or fire and brimstone for listeners. Whether new to the landscape or you've walked it before, this book will guide you into a new path for the righteous so you never feel like the damned again.
