Download or read book Welcome to Wally World written by Stephen Newman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Wally World is a journal of one man's two years in retail management at Wal-mart Stores Inc. The journal "chronicles" his personal experiences working with the mega-retailer and exposes the good, bad, and sometimes the ugly side of the retail business giant, in a humorous and whimsical way. There is no book like this that gives you a detailed look into to the day-to-day operations at such a grassroots level. If you loved the outrageous and situational comedy of Laura Weisberger's The Devil Wears Prada with the heart felt realism of Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed, you'll love Welcome to Wally World. Written in a journal format, each day tells a different story with familiar themes. While each day ends, another adventure always seems to be just around the corner. Each story stands on its own as a mixture of humor, anecdotes, and some seriousness. Readers will laugh at the hilarious and sometimes insane behind the scenes antics. If shoppers only knew the story behind the scenes . and now they do. Welcome to Wally World represents a real "grassroots" effort to capture experiences, emotions, and goings on inside the world's largest retailer. A number of books may have been written from the corporate perspective, but this work focuses on the people behind the power-those hardworking clerks and managers who actually move the products and stock the shelves to achieve those sales and gross profits. Having spent nearly two years involved with the detailed experiences depicted in the book, I feel uniquely qualified to bring these stories and anecdotes to the public eye. Mixed with humor, seriousness and irony, Welcome to Wally World is a personal journey of my professional life with the company. The "take away" from my experiences with Wal-mart led me to the writing style you'll find in the book. No personal names are used. What is important is that these events portrayed would happen regardless of the individuals involved. The implication is that people are simply "cogs" in the corporate machine. Each day, via diary format, illustrates my belief that the journey was like a series of crazy, wild, and unpredictable "movies" or sub-journeys all rolled into one brief career. Each day at work, stood on its own.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice!

[Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column.

Download or read book Making Love While Levitating Three Feet in the Air and Other Stories written by Jeff Fearnside and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Love While Levitating Three Feet in the Air: And Other Stories’s 13 short stories are linked thematically by the recurring idea of flight, in its various definitions and senses. The characters are sometimes in flight from their situations, sometimes from other people, sometimes from themselves. Stories range from contemporary to historical, from realistic to magical realist. The known and the unknown often blur as the characters struggle to understand the unseen forces that move them. Ultimately, the crises that all the characters encounter are psychological or spiritual in some way, however each may define that; as the title of the collection suggests, the characters find themselves levitating somewhere between their deepest desires and an exquisite and terrifying nothingness. No one in these stories “wins” in the traditional sense; there are no tidy answers. But the stories are subtly life affirming in how each character deals with the difficulties of life. Each learns something about himself or herself, however fleeting that knowledge may be, however small a step forward it inspires. Life isn’t static, and neither are these people.

Download or read book Steel Pot written by Curt Stocker and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACK COVER COPY: Curt Stocker began smoking pot in October 1966, more than a year before he went to Vietnam. In this memoir, he shares a true account of his service fighting for America. Considering all the pot he smoked, he understands why some people may find it amazing that he’s able to remember that time. Ironically, the DuPont Corp. became one of the main proponents of antimarijuana legislation because it sought to stamp out the hemp industry. The company’s motivation was the immense profit it would reap by switching everybody over from hemp rope and canvas sails to DuPont’s newly invented synthetics such as nylon rope and rayon fabrics. The bald-faced lies its executives invented about hemp were totally off the charts. Vietnam exposed many young Americans to marijuana who otherwise would have never found it. Because of this, the author believes that the war may be the single most important factor in today’s looming marijuana legalization. Unfortunately, there are still people want to continue the War on Drugs and put people in jail on marijuana charges. It is time to end the federal marijuana prohibition.
