|
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 indispensable practical advice on |
|
how companies and the people that work for them can avoid the same pitfalls.</p> |

|
<p>Strange office stories happen everywhere, being passed along from generation |
|
to generation of new employees by old sages.</p> |
|
<p>And this book captures the stories of one of those sages.</p> |
|
<p>Some of the stories are funny, some are really weird, but all of them have |
|
some points in case you get caught in a similar situation, by someone who has |
|
some ideas about labor law and works for HR (the author mentions that he is, |
|
actually, a labor lawyer, but since there is a disclaimer that you shouldn't |
|
take the suggestions as facts, I'm downplaying the position a bit). This means |
|
that every freaky story have some pointers on what one shouldn't do and what |
|
management should do in case something like that should happen.</p> |
|
<p>The last chapter is a downer, though. Instead of funny/freaky, the stories are |
|
mostly discrimination and the tone gets really serious -- with reason.</p> |
|
<p>Still, it's kinda interesting seeing that your office is not the only weird |
|
one</p> |
