Do you let yourself be panicked by that scare-word of industry - 'morale'? - EMPLOYEES! How is YOUR center of gravity? Can you avoid the pitfalls of Incriminating Evidence, Automated Dismissal, and the Induced Resignation? Here is a book that tells you not how to succeed in business, but how to survive."
