Summary of Cynthia Shapiro's Corporate Confidential

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Your career is in danger right now, simply because you have no way of knowing what to look for or how to find out whether you are seen as an asset or a risk. You must learn the secret methods that can be used to remove unwanted workers.

#2 The law will not protect you from retaliatory or unfounded job loss. Companies have learned to protect themselves fiercely from those they feel are out of alignment with what they value. If unfavorable judgments and opinions are allowed to progress, they can take you from someone the company has interest in to full persona non grata.

#3 The most common method of removing an employee is to manage them out. This means making the employee’s work life so difficult and unsatisfying that they leave on their own. The signs that you are being managed out are if your boss doesn’t like you or pay attention to you the way he does to others, your office is moved to an undesirable location, or you are given impossible tasks with unrealistic deadlines.

#4 Companies will often fire employees who they believe are negatively impacting the company’s success. This can be a highly effective way to get rid of employees, as many companies would rather upset employees than be faced with a lawsuit or a messy firing.
