The Working Girl's Survival Guide: Or How to Deal with Assholes in the Workplace

Not all men you’ll encounter in the workplace are assholes. I think it is important to make this clear right up front. Having said that, a pretty fair number of them are. In fact, statistically speaking, there is basically a one hundred percent chance that you will work for a complete asshole at some point in your career and, more likely than not, you’ll be stomped on by a whole, soul-crushing parade of them as they make their every-man-for-himself journey up the illustrious corporate ladder, using your head as a stepping stone. And, it won’t only be the men who do this to you. Oh no. There are women out there who can scare the crap out of you too. These women are every bit as evil and soul destroying as the worst of the men you’ll meet. A very sad reality. And the reason why I felt compelled to write this humble guidebook using all that I learned in my fifteen years in Human Resources – five as a senior Human Resources executive – to fill you in on what your company absolutely doesn’t want you to know: How to build a bullet-proof case against bastardly bosses and co- workers that can be used to launch – and win – a lawsuit against your company. You see, as far as I’m concerned, if the advice in this book can save you from the agony and self-esteem bashing I’ve been through at the hands of the various Narcissists, Womanizers, Rage-aholics, Control Freaks, Woman-Haters, Backstabbers, and All-Around Assholes with whom I’ve had to contend over the years, then my pain will almost have been worth it. Almost. Nothing can really make up for the cortisol-generated roll of flab around my waist and hips, to say nothing of the wrinkles, pimples, and cellulite – all, all inflicted upon me by devil bosses and other assorted office pinheads and all of them apparently permanent conditions. I can only hope that you’ll read this book early enough in your career to allow you to escape these hideous, life-altering scourges yourself. So, with that in mind, prepare to turn your life around as well as the life of whatever asshole you are gunning for! Good luck... and happy hunting! Jenna
