With a timely release in 2023, this book is about what it’s actually like to work inside the walls of a modern Tech company and\/or startup. In a darkly humorous way, it aims to bring to light the sociopsychological aspects of what goes on amidst leadership, management, and individual contributors, and unveils what often really happens to employees as they remain in seat (whether they know it or not).\n\nThe focus of this book is on the cultures therein based on testimonies, postulations and drawn conclusions (legitimately anchored to experience) that they are mostly the same everywhere, regardless of the company. It attempts to explain why there is such an ungodly level of toxicity wrought throughout their cultures that most everyone knows about, agrees is a horrendous problem to their humanity, yet, somehow, decides to participate in. Although corporate humor and entertainment are its main intent, the author speaks from a place of credibility and conviction (think very long op-ed piece from someone in the trenches) with sardonic commentary and cleverly articulated truths about the structure, nature, and outworkings of being employed by these types of companies.\n\nOver-the-top mockery abounds in this book! It's hilarious. But there are heavier topics and concepts that are intended to make the reader think critically about what they too may have experienced in their Tech employee journey. Self-introspective at times, there are plenty of jokes, barbs, sarcasm, storytelling, philosophy, rants, and perspective blended with virtue and redemption throughout. Outside of entertainment value, catharsis and therapy are well provided for readers who have likely experienced much of what is laid out in this book—all wrapped in the shroud of comical critique that aims to provide resonance, gut-busting laughter, validation, and release for those who've done time working in Tech.\n\nIf a given Tech employee were ever asking: “Is it just me?...Or…..” – this is the book for them!\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0C6BYXSH6\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0C6BYXSH6.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Faizon, C.W.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
