Publisher Description
Hilarious and hair-rising true tales of office debauchery from the lawyer who gets paid to clean up the mess.
Try to imagine the following workplace scenarios: two employees having hot and heavy sex in an open cubicle in full view of their coworkers. A boss conducting a business meeting while wearing nothing but a strategically-placed towel. Employees using Craigslist to arrange sexual trysts with hookers on company time. Breast-flashing. Oral sex solicitation via office e-mail.
Impossible? Unbelievable?
Richard Burton has tales you won’t believe actually happened over his decades spent as the attorney hired by companies to protect them when their employees act out. Employees Gone Wild collects some of the most outrageous and absolutely-true stories (names changed to protect the guilty of course) from Burton’s years on the job, along with his indispensible practical advice on how companies and the people that work for them can avoid the same pitfalls.
Hilarious and eye-opening in the same breath, dozens of cartoons give Employees Gone Wild a light tone perfect for the coworker with a sense of humor. It’s also a great excuse for anyone that’s received a slap on the wrist from their job: Hey, at least I’m not as bad as that guy!
Customer Reviews
Good Book - for Management and Problem Employees
Overall, this book has some really good information in it. It has some “real life” situations that I have witnessed in my years of being a professional employee. My thoughts are that this book is not really meant for everybody. It is not meant for the employees who are doing their jobs to the best of their abilities and enjoying things as they go. This book is really meant for the employees who are the troublemakers and for management and HR to deal with such employees. I could add a few “real-life” stories in there from my own experiences and give management and HR some advice on how to handle things, as I am sure most people who have been out there in the so-called real world can do as well.
Overall, I have to give this book three stars since it could have included a few truely unbelievable whoppers that actually happened along with the outcomes. I was expecting more of that kind of stuff. It could also have included more success stories where troublemakers were turned into valuable employees. I have seen some of that as well. Another reason is that this book is really meant for management and HR. Most people are not going to be attracted to such a read, but I was.
To sum it up, if you are in management or HR, or you recognize yourself as a troublemaker employee, then buy and read this book. If you do a good job and you know it along with causing no trouble, skip this book and keep being a great employee.
Forces you to review after chapter 1
Won’t let you go to chapter 2 without reviewing. Thus the bad review....
