Produktbeschreibung
A true story of one man's survival in Corporate America. Enticed by the promise of the great rewards that await software developers, Randy Zinn enters the corporate world during the exciting internet boom of the late 1990s-only to find that the challenges awaiting him have nothing to do with code and everything to do with people. Whether it's the incompetence of coworkers, getting thrown under the bus, or being set up to fail, Zinn faces the outrageous behavior with determination to keep his hopes alive. Along the way, he offers readers a rare peek into working with private companies that contract with the U.S. Military, Transportation Security Agency (TSA), IRS, and more. Corporate Hell: A Memoir is an unforgettable account of an idealistic programmer's coming of age, and a story of professional perseverance in the face of blind authority.
Autorenporträt
Randy Zinn has worked as a software developer/architect in the Washington D.C. area for over 20 years and encountered an amazing number of characters and issues along the way - so much so that he has not one but two forthcoming memoirs about it. Whether an employee, contractor, or consultant through his own firm, he's worked in the commercial sector and for NASA, the State Department, the Pentagon, and White House, among others. He brings considerable experience to not just surviving, but thriving in the often tumultuous corporate world, where unwelcome surprises can appear without warning.
