It’s a rat race out there, and the rats are winning. Today, more than 80% of workers are said to be dissatisfied with their job or company. With a private industry workforce of over 107 million, something is seriously wrong in Corporate America when 85 million workers are unhappy to the point of jumping ship. The Corporate Rat Race: The Rats Are Winning has a unique message for the 85 million unhappy workers of Corporate America. Unique in that this is not just another how-to-be-a-success book peering from the “outside in,” this is a fresh and new perspective from inside of Corporate America. Based on real-life experiences, Rat Race is an examination of the evolution of Corporate America from the early days of the First Industrial Revolution, through the Scientific Management Movement, the Great Depression and World War II, and how these eras shaped the state of Corporate America today.

This review is from: The Corporate Rat Race: The Rats Are Winning: A Game Plan for Surviving and Thriving in Corporate America (Paperback)
Mr. Ulasien has given us a common-sense guide for life in or out of the corporate world. He doesn't just tell us what to do when our "cheese" moves but who has the cheese, why, and when to consider changing from swiss to cheddar. This book will cause a bit on introspection but perhaps that is what the author was aiming for in the first place.

An Eye Opening Book,
By Not a Rat "JM" (Reston, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Corporate Rat Race: The Rats Are Winning: A Game Plan for Surviving and Thriving in Corporate America (Paperback)
This book is an awesome read. Very well written, easy to read, easy to understand and gives an insight as to what we are up against in the rat race. I'm too young to remember many of the things that the author refers to in the book about how the 70s and 80s had such an impact on the modern day corporate rat, but after reading this book, I can certainly relate to what is written.
This book is should replace the Covey principles in every corporate training program. Unlike Covey, it makes sense the first time around!!

A Captivating and Practical Book,
By Hard Working Mom (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Corporate Rat Race: The Rats Are Winning: A Game Plan for Surviving and Thriving in Corporate America (Paperback)
Mr. Ulasien took a very practical and applicable view point of a hot topic among Corporate America workers today. Not only did the title catch my attention, but the book totally captivated me. It was obvious that the author spent many hours researching the evolution of Corporate America, and how the rat race came to be. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his and others' experiences, and I personally related to several scenarios. This is must read book!
