Release Date: May 25th, 2023
No. of Pages: 211
The contribution made by the corporate sector to our economy is well documented. Everyone wants to be part of this canvas. But there are some quirks that run through all companies; and have been written about here based on personal experiences. This can be about HR practices, CEOs, Awards, communication, bosses, genuflection, conferences, gifts and even mundane things like emails and presentations. The reader will find this familiar and may just ask how the author knows about her company. The answer is that these quirks pervade the corridors and cabins of all companies. They are serious yet funny. Serious because this often happens, and funny because we need to have a sense of humour to savour the way of corporate life. These pages are to be read with a smile and taken in the right spirit because as the bard had said – all of us are actors that speak our lines and walk off the stage!
