If corporate life looks
like a fairyland with stable earnings and shiny bubbles moving in the air –
Rishi Piparaiya has cleverly burst those bubbles and brought people to reality!
Taking a
rather satirical take on the corporate life that takes the honest road to dealing
with the crunching office politics, confusing situations and dealing with
people of different motives - Job Be Damned is a light read with interesting use of words!
I have not
read ‘Aisle Be damned’ and was very much in a judgment mode to know why the
author would write ‘Job Be Damned’ after his first book titled so. Is he
targeting all the career options?
And again, I
looked at his qualifications and experience judging that he is going to
probably vent out all the job frustration in this book. But I was impressed by
the very definition of corporate success given by Rishi Piparaiya. So neat and
on-point!
With his
witty sense of writing that needs to be taken with a pinch of salt and a lot of
laughing, he slowly takes on every aspect of job and brings out the secrets.
Right from the newbies, interns, assistants to the corporate life crisis and
senior level management – you have all the experiences in here!
I would be
very honest here, the title seemed a lot cliché but the book turned out to be a
commendable one – with its own humour and entertaining power!
20 chapters
made into 6 sections takes us through the life of the corporate structure in
different facets. Like entering an office and climbing the stairs, watching at
every cubicle and gathering stories – the book bluntly takes out each situation
and puts it right onto your face. From taking a hearty take on how to behave in
an office party, fitting into the work life, relationship management and more,
he has nailed in bringing forth a laughing tale of an average employee who
dreams of making it big in the corporate world.
But one
thing that book definitely teaches is – Not to be an Average!
Highly
recommending this to the corporate employees – for a revelation and others like
me – to have a good laugh!
P.S. Rishi
