Or perhaps, someone else has been using you to do the wrong things? Ironically, it is easier to move up the ladder doing evil than doing your job.What you need to move ahead may not be doing evil, but at least you need to understanding "evil." What is "doing evil"?This book gives an insight into successful "evil" techniques for climbing up the corporate ladder. The author provides a holistic analysis of each "evil" method and explains why it works and the circumstances that it applies. Whether you are an ambitious or contented employee, you should know "evil practices." Evil exists regardless of whether you condone it or not.

This book compiles "evil" techniques employed by employees at different organizational levels, from workers, managers, to senior management. Regardless of the level of your career, there is an aspect of evil for your understanding. If you cannot get your workers to perform, perhaps they have been "evil"? The content of this book has been used to guide organizations to rethink the way they have been working and correct their dysfunctional behavior. Whether you are an employee or an employer, you will find this book useful in understanding people's behavior in the corporate world.

Book Description
Hope for the Flowers: A must read during this time of the corona virus and civil unrest in 2020. Caterpillars, Butterflies, Life & a real Hope Revolution THE WORLD HAS BEEN COCOONING; LET US EMERGE WITH HOPE. We have all lived through months of strange relationships with ourselves and the world around us. Virtual gatherings have become the norm, while the pain, uncertainty and injustice goes on. What will our new normal possibly become? What new work? How can we do our part to heal the world from whatever limited space we have? How can our United States truly be one nation under God with liberty and JUSTICE FOR ALL? “What might I do to help others during this global crisis? Is likely still your question as well as still mine. I will continue to offer my e-book for $2.99 with my hope that it can strengthen hope and courage in each of you and your children. We will need all we can get! If inspired, please join our Facebook group - Hope (For the Flowers) Revolution. Maybe we can inspire each other to build the better world that's possible. My hope for us is that, like our caterpillar heroes, Stripe and Yellow, we transform in the darkness of the cocoon to something new and totally unexpected. May we each find a way to use this time of darkness to light the way to justice and peace in the world. May we discover our own new beauty as we discover the beauty in our differences. May we each discover our purpose and live with passion this thing called life, while we still can. “How does one become a butterfly” Yellow asks pensively. “You must want to fly so much That you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.” I can't think of anything more transformational and radical than the change that happens when a lowly caterpillar worm becomes a flying beautiful butterfly. And it doesn't end with flying! They find their true purpose, to carry the pollen of love from one flower to another and receive in return the sweet nectar that keeps them alive. What wondrous exchange! Sharing is the answer to so much! I'm so grateful the story seems to reach every culture, and over 3 million have loved and shared the paper version in English and countless more in other languages for 50 years. May each of us and the world flourish after this strange dark cocoon of isolation.

Book Description
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A “provocative ... highly readable ... refreshing ... [and] practical" book (The Los Angeles Times) that explains why it is in your best interest to work as little as possible. Your company wants you to be loyal. You should feel lucky—after all, your job is a privilege (think of all those who would like to have it). And you know (despite what you’ve read about Enron and WorldCom) that management has your best interests at heart. Your goal is to devote yourself to the pursuit of corporate profit, make your company number one, and reap the benefits of its success. Or is there something else you want to do with your life? Bonjour Laziness dares to ask whether you really have a stake in the corporate sweepstakes, whether professional mobility is anything but an opiate. It shows you how to become impervious to manipulation and escape the implacable law of usefulness.
