What happened is the 90s is STILL subverting companies!

Every employee at every level has the potential to sabotage YOUR career or - worse - poison the entire company. I bought the book too late; I'd had my fill of trying to survive six months in corporate marketing under stifling local policies. After my resignation, four people in quick succession tried my old job; all left within five months. Corporate headquarters became suspicious and sent a "supervisor trainee" to investigate local procedures. Within three weeks corporate fired two managers and a supervisor who had very efficiently stifled innovation, undermined "troublemakers" (like me), and prevented corporate plans for expansion into new markets. This book identifies the symptoms of the psychopathic negaholics so they can be retrained, redirected or pruned. With current market conditions, it is more critical than ever to identify problem employees before they affect company morale and the bottom line. But be careful in your evaluations - YOUR name might be at the top of the list! [If so, get out and find a job you enjoy. Everyone will be happier in the long run.]
