Life Is More Than a Job

About the Book

There are countless books focusing on climbing the corporate ladder, but what if you just want to work in a relatively stress-free environment and return home with the satisfaction of a job well done? Sheila Tillman, who spent almost fifty years in the corporate workplace, wrote this guide to help rank-and-file employees succeed on the job so they can enjoy life outside work. In no-nonsense language, she explains what employers want and how to keep them happy—even if you don’t want to rise up the ranks. Learn how to: • leave a job gracefully when you can’t grasp the fundamentals of the work; • determine whether you’re a good fit for a particular job; and • approach each day with a positive, can-do attitude. Tillman also explains that if you disagree with your most recent job rating, feel that you deserved a raise that you did not get, or think co-workers don’t like you, it’s not a good idea to go to human resources as it will almost always support management. Discover the unwritten rules of survival in the workplace, and make informed decisions about who you work for and how with the lessons in Life Is More than a Job.
