Anyone who has worked in a corporation or even a small private company has seen instances of injustice, bias, harassment, and bullying. Often we feel unable to address these issues even though we know what’s happening is wrong. In this book, in addition to giving examples of the problem, the author offers practical suggestions.
The examples presented by the author, including her own experiences, give this book a feel of immediacy. I could understand and sympathize with the situations described. Although it’s easy to identify problems and want to do something about them, it isn’t always easy in the real world.
The author goes a step beyond identifying abuses in the workplace, she gives practical suggestions for dealing with the problems. Although not all suggestions will work in a particular situation, there are enough to give you ideas for what to do. Clearly, it will take a long time and many missteps to rectify the problems in the workplace, but this book is a start.
I received this book from St. Martin’s Press for this review.
