The Cutthroat Menagerie: A Young Professionals' Guide to Recognizing and Overcoming Treachery and Skulduggery in the Corporate Workplace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798343234589)

Welcome to the corporate workplace, filled with all manner of scoundrels and villains fanatically making your work life miserable.

School never prepared you for all the difficult and dangerous psychological profiles you're now encountering at work, which is where this book comes in. If you are a young professional (or even a more "seasoned" one) who might be feeling stressed and frazzled because of some particularly malevolent and/or maddening people at work, do not despair. The Cutthroat Menagerie is a handy little field guide that can start helping you today.

Vincent de Cordoba applies his knowledge and skills gained from 40 years in the mostly-corporate workplace in the spirit of mentoring others. And, in an unassuming way, he'd also like to contribute to offsetting a little of the unfairness and imbalance in the universe by showing you how to identify and overcome the bullies, charlatans, underminers, backstabbers, thieves, users, complainers, cheats, show-offs, bootlickers...one could go on.

Each human coworker personality/behavior type herein is associated with an animal (thank you again for being cool about that, animal friends). The chapters feature sections on how each 'animal' operates, telltale signs, what they're covering up, their underlying goals, how they want you to react, their level of threat (relative to the other animals), counteractions to take, how to keep sane, some additional thoughts and tips...plus recommendations to go listen to specific songs containing pertinent lyrics.

As you navigate the countless hazards, obstacles and unsavory individuals you will face over the course of your corporate career, The Cutthroat Menagerie should serve you well.
