A hilarious, tongue-in-cheek twist on the employee handbook, Welcome to the Company) is the “official” employee manual of the Gordon Wiggins Group, a mythical, yet easily recognizable, corporate entity whose motto is “Failure is our last resort™.” Through the highly dysfunctional Gordon Wiggins Group, whose mission statement boasts that an “unwavering commitment to high-minded principles” sets them apart from the competition, author Eileen McVety unveils a candid and comical plain-truth guide to corporate culture. Anything but an average employee manual, Welcome to the Company is resplendent with McVety’s irreverent humor and wisdom as she slices through the corporate lingo and political-speak on everything from affirmative action to management training, performance reviews to professional attire, and benefits to professional behavior. In this witty, wickedly insightful narrative, McVety strips away the corporate jargon to deliver an enlightening and entertaining exposé whereby employees can learn such key tricks, tools, and tips as: concocting creative sick day excuses; defining the role of each department, and discerning the dos and don’ts of dealing with them; identifying those six subtle signs that you’re about to be fired; mastering the myriad meaningless meetings you’ll be forced to attend; and proactively playing the corporate players. With its hilarious and all-too-accurate assessment of corporate culture, Welcome to the Company leaves no stone unturned in its read-between-the-lines take on the vast difference between what the employee manual says about working for a company, and what it’s really like working there.
