Employees Gone Wild

Hilarious and hair-rising true tales of office debauchery from the lawyer who gets paid to clean up the mess. Try to imagine the following workplace scenarios: two employees having hot and heavy sex in an open cubicle in full view of their coworkers. A manager's mugshot printed out and posted in the break room. Marijuana plants growing on a worker’s desk, in plain view of the rest of the office. Impossible? Unbelievable? Richard Burton has tales that are hard to believe actually happened over his decades spent as an attorney hired by companies to protect them when their employees act out. Employees Gone Wild collects some of the most outrageous—and absolutely true—stories (names changed to protect the guilty, of course) from Burton’s years on the job, along with practical advice on how companies and the people who work for them can avoid the same pitfalls. Hilarious and eye-opening in the same breath, with cartoons from artist Ian Baker to illustrate the mayhem, Employees Gone Wild is the perfect gift for the coworker with a sense of humor. It might also provide an alibi for anyone who’s ever received a slap on the wrist from HR: Hey, at least I’m not as bad as that guy!
