Download or read book Golden Handcuffs written by Polly Courtney and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2007-04-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone's got a child, a friend or a neighbour who works in the City. The six-figure bonuses and golden hellos are no secret, nor are the hundred-hour weeks, the highpressure deals or the regular rounds of redundancies in the Square Mile. It's a cut-throat world...everyone knows that. But do they know what it's like for the thousands of fresh-faced young graduates who pour into the City each year? Do they know what it's like to get woken up at three in the morning by a taxi outside your window, ready to haul you back into the office? What it's like to feel guilty for sloping off to the gym at nine o'clock at night? This cynical but entertaining novel follows two 'high-flyers' through their first year in the City. Based on the writer's experience at an American investment bank, it reveals a world that doesn't quite match up with the fast-paced, exhilarating one that was painted so enticingly on the undergraduate milk-round. "Golden Handcuffs" is about twenty-something graduates in the City. It tells of ambition, hard work and disillusionment. It has been called a 'latter day version of "Liar's Poker" by Michael Lewis', a 'must-read for all young professionals' and strikes a similar chord to "I Don't Know How She Does It" by Allison Pearson, though it is aimed at a younger reader. A witty insight into the City, it is told with a fresh, young style that cannot fail to appeal to this as-yet untapped market.

Book excerpt: Terrell Banks stands on the brink of a brilliant legal career. He's the new hotshot at Bragg & Shuttlesworth, where the amount of money they pay is dwarfed only by the amount of billable hours expected. When he is assigned a new case in the middle of the night, he assumes it is just another boring defendant with more money than sense, but this time, he's wrong. Jennifer Weston had the life that she always wanted, a multi-platinum music career, millions of fans and riches beyond all her wildest dreams. That is, until she's accused of the heinous murder of her rapper boyfriend. As the glare of the paparazzi magnifies his every mistake, Terrell desperately tries to find evidence to clear her name. Suddenly, he finds himself alone in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens to trap both of them in a prison of their own circumstance.
Download or read book Public Relations and Whistleblowing written by Cary A. Greenwood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing interest in corporate whistleblowing, but no comprehensive research has yet focused on public relations practice. Drawing on extensive research on Fortune 1000 and Wilshire 5000 corporations, this book reveals executives’ attitudes and relationships toward their organizations and their impact on whistleblowing. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals that wrongdoing in corporations and the privileges of power coexist. Top-ranking public relations executives, who are mostly white and male, are more likely to be aware of wrongdoing but no more likely to blow the whistle, fundamentally due to their positive relationship with their employers. Using the new lens of evolutionary theory, this study explains whistleblowing, retaliation, and relationships, and in the light of the connection between whistleblowing behavior and executives’ attitudes, it proposes a new theory of the phenomenon of Golden Handcuffs. As public attitudes to corporations, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and transparency harden, these findings have serious implications for companies globally. Researchers, scholars, and advanced students in public relations, organizational communication, corporate communication, strategic communication, corporate reputation, and CSR will find this book full of revealing insights.

Book excerpt: For those affected by the machine that is mass incarceration along with the machine of social oblivion, from which we could all use some liberation.Written from multiple points of view because incarceration is communal. One systemic obstacle conquered is automatically my brothers and sisters' concern. We begin to learn when we accept America for what it is: brutal and a staple of inferiority for minorities. We begin to win communally once our passion for advancement burns as intensely as the greed of the ones who claimed seniority upon first throwing us in the fire.
