Summary:
"The way we work has changed. Employees are standing up for themselves and demanding their job work for them, too. With so much of life spent at our jobs and with our coworkers, who can blame them? Here, the author shares what she's learned in her decades of helping others grow and succeed across professions. Readers will find relatable true stories--at once funny, sad, shocking, and inspiring--of former clients' issues and interactions at work. Everyone wants a job that fulfills them, that pays them what they are worth. But, contrary to the popular hustle culture mindset, our jobs are not our whole lives, and we shouldn't be pressured to let thoughts of work consume all our waking hours. Rather, workers of all levels need to be proactively seeking to define their value, in both their personal and professional lives. Now more than ever individuals and professionals need to rely on not only their work experience, but their moxie as well."-- Provided by publisher.
