TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE!

The only person who can turn your life  your career around is reading this right now. It is time to seize the moment and do yourself a favor.

You have the opportunity to learn from the serious mistakes that I and others made because we trusted our management to look after our interests. This book, Danger Quicksand - Have A Nice Day, will open your eyes and prepare you to look out for your OWN interests!

Danger_quicksand_front_cover_email If you are a hard working team member and feel like the trap door is about to fall out from under you any moment, you need to read this book. There are several sections devoted to showing you the signs of a company in trouble and what you can do to avoid going down with the ship.

I've spent 50 years in the high tech arena and have worked for 25 different companies, so I have intimate knowledge of the fragility of corporate culture and how a healthy corporate culture can sicken and die almost overnight.

Management practices have changed over the years and you can no longer expect employment stability. This is the 21st century and companies are managing from quarter to quarter. You can do a great job and be promoted and still be on the streets in 90 days if the company is not keeping up with competition. I have written a book to level the playing field for employees at any level. You owe it to yourself and your family to read this book and prepare yourself for long-term employment stability.

I want you to succeed. You have the potential to be a valuable player. Make sure you are part of a team that deserves you. Read this book and find out how you can unfailingly recognize a good place to work.
