This career guide lays a blueprint for career success in the often frustrating corporate workplace climate. It seeks to show readers how to leverage the corporate infrastructure and culture to their advantage and presents strategies for surviving in the workforce to be successful. Topics include the value of a mentor (and what to do if he/she is fired), the advantages of studying your company and its history, and the downside of lying, scheming and backstabbing to keep your job. The author also identifies seven types of "corporate survivors" who have mastered corporate culture, so that readers can discover which model best suits their own personalities.
