All About Work

About the Book

All About Work: that all-consuming past time is created for the worker. It seeks to give recognition and praise to the very people to whom praise and recognition have never been truly or significantly granted. Although this book covers some satisfied workers, it is especially for the worker who has shown great dedication and skill in applying him or herself to the job, yet feeling unappreciated and uncompensated for having done so. It is for the worker who has never (or rarely) been given the opportunity to use his or her acquired skills due to no fault of their own—that is, through unemployment, greed, or even mean-spiritedness. It is to the underpaid, overworked worker, and as a result the unhappy worker. This book is a sounding board to finally let your tantrums bounce off the pages by way of the written word. You've held your tongue more than a tad too long; you've bitten down on your lips too hard, too many times. You've repressed your need to just thrown even a tiny tantrum to let it be known exactly how you feel. You did it for the sake of holding on to your job, for the sake of "making a living." The result of all this repression is that you were never heard. Now the good news is that you can now hold up a glass in a toast, because the time has come. Your time has come to say you’re more than two cents worth. While the book is a celebration of your now being able to release a lot of pent-up emotions, vicariously through others, it is also a celebration of other things as strength, hope, and even laughter. Yes, laughter because you now have the final word. So get ready to read a book about work from the workers that share your views about work. Read it knowing that when working together the possibility always exists that things have the potential to be better. Yes, my fellow co-worker, a light awaits you at the end of the tunnel. It's there, and it's up to you to get there by working diligently toward it.
