Pages : 125
Book Description
Real-life events and court cases unnoticed by the public eye over a decade are fictionalized for a thrill ride through the tribulations of professional offices at their highest and lowest moments Handling business or professional issues improperly or illegally has consequences that can escalate and destroy lives along the way. Too often, bosses and employees learn the hard way about employment laws that were designed to help businesses. When business goes wrong, you can expect to find yourself in attorneys’ offices and court proceedings. Business leaders must learn employment laws prior to trouble or lawsuits. Otherwise, they will experience a path of falling in despair over lawsuits and loss. Instead, learn the necessary life lessons because our jobs can affect our well-being, families, friends, relationships, and love life. As in life, business can be “up” and “down” like a roller coaster, but you must hang on for the ride and keep going. Book Review: "I have had the pleasure of having this author as a guest on my show MY STEPS TO SOBRIETY and have read her book as part of doing due diligence prior to the interview. To give you context - I am an anaesthetist who has worked in Europe and Australasia and do now work in private practice in New Zealand. Reading Christina's book is quite an eye-opener for me into a culture that is so difficult to understand, it may as well come from another galaxy. This book shines the light on the often questionable, and at times fraudulent practices that go on behind the scenes of recruiting staff in the USA. More importantly however, it reveals the challenges that any American citizen will face when it comes to fighting for their rights or, God forbid, try to whistleblow ina society where financial ruin and homelessness is waiting just around the corner. This book is however also a testament to resilience. It offers the reader a way out of difficult situations due to the openness and transparency of the author. Christina had to go through hell and back, but she did not stop going. That is the hallmark of any survivor and I have taken solace in reading about Christina's trials and tribulations. I would have not chosen this book voluntarily but am ultimately very grateful that I had the chance to read it. An amazing author, a very interesting book!"-- Stephan Neff, My Steps to Sobriety
