Table of Contents

"Going Corporate is 100% on the money. The hysterical analysis reminded me of all the reasons I bolted from Corporate America after just one year. If I had read this book then, maybe I would have lasted an extra year or two before self-destructing. And it will certainly guarantee that you don't get fired!"
- Sam Solovey, entrepreneur and contestant on NBC's hit reality show, "The Apprentice"

"An accurate and hilarious account of what goes on behind the fluorescent lights and screen savers of Corporate America. Going Corporate covers everything from the dangers of Christmas party catastrophes to the devastating effects of a weak handshake. A must-read for anyone looking to make sense of a new office environment. Shapiro and Embree capture the mix of humor and humiliation that we all experience our first year out in the workforce."
-Wendy Straker, author of Sexy Jobs in the City

"Going Corporate exposes the reality of the corporate world. Anyone who has a boss, anyone who has a job-needs to read this book."
- Bonnie Fuller, Chief Editorial Director, American Media, Inc.
