Across the Pond: A Book and a Chat with "Eileen McVety"

Saturday, August 8, 2009

Six sick day excuses, knowing the cooperate player and how to play them, the ambition of having an office where you can turn your PC screen so only you can do it, the art of sticking it to the man.

Listen to today's tremendously funny "A BOOK AND A CHAT with Eileen McVety"

Eileen's hilarious, tongue-in-cheek twist on the employee handbook, Welcome to the Company (Inkwater Press, ISBN: 978-1-59299-395-6, Trade Paper, $9.95) is the “official” employee manual of the Gordon Wiggins Group, a mythical, yet easily recognizable, corporate entity whose motto is “Failure is our last resort”.

With its hilarious and all-too-accurate assessment of corporate culture, Welcome to the Company leaves no stone unturned in its read-between-the-lines take on the vast difference between what the employee manual says about working for a company, and what it’s really like working there.

It is a book that any person who works for a large corporation or for that matter a small company can relate to and enjoy.
