The Little Things About Life in the Workplace

After more than 30 years in the workplace, facing the trials of six industries and honing his skills in state-owned, foreign-funded, and private enterprises, the author accumulated a wealth of firsthand material and work notes through corporate management and career consulting. And so this book was born.

The book takes the perspective of a newcomer growing in the workplace, exploring how to adapt, cope, and think. It considers how to survive in an unfamiliar work environment as quickly as possible, how to thrive afterward, and how to gain greater professional value, benefits, and influence.

The topics include core workplace questions such as: "What should you keep in mind when starting your first job?" "Why is the workplace a field of value and interests?" "What should you watch out for when dealing with your boss?" "Who will be your workplace mentor?" "How do you give an effective work report?" "What is the essence of coworker relationships?" and "Is there a secret to getting a raise or promotion?"
