我在Amazon上班, 需要紅酒與心理師: 贏了面子卻輸了靈魂的12年

內容簡介

內容簡介 你會為了你的職業犧牲什麼？所有的自由時間？自我價值感？理智？2006年，Kristi Coulter離開了舒適但乏味的工作，進入亞馬遜網站擔任一個充滿希望的新職位，她從沒想過將面對隨之而來的靈魂壓迫……很快，她找到了她渴望的挑戰和興奮，以及，一週7天的工作、救生艇演習、職業倦怠，和一個主要由恐懼驅動的文化。但她為何仍堅持了12年，直到她不再認得鏡子裡的那張面孔？這是一本辛辣、坦率、幽默的回憶錄，講述了對事業的雄心、性別議題以及在亞馬遜網站度過艱辛、看似荒謬但真實的歲月。What would you sacrifice for your career? All your free time? Your sense of self-worth? Your sanity?In 2006, Kristi Coulter left her cozy but dull job for a promising new position at the fast-growing Amazon.com, but she never expected the soul-crushing pressure that would come with it.In no time she found the challenge and excitement she’d been craving―along with seven-day workweeks, lifeboat exercises, widespread burnout, and a culture driven largely by fear. But the chase, the visibility, and, let’s face it, the stock options proved intoxicating, and so, for twelve years, she stayed―until she no longer recognized the face in the mirror or the mission she’d signed up for.Unsparing, absurd, and wickedly funny, Exit Interview is a rare journey inside the crucible that is Amazon. It is an intimate, surprisingly relatable look at the work life of a driven woman in a world that loves the idea of female ambition but balks at the reality.

各界推薦

各界推薦 “Anyone looking for the inside scoop on Amazon will be in luck. Maddening stories and details about the company are abundant . . . [and] by situating her experience in a larger feminist narrative, Coulter gives her story a more universal application.”―Leah Reich, The New York Times"A unique and brilliant book―both a hilarious memoir of one woman's journey through the extremes of corporate America and a poignant and arresting account of what modern work culture can do to the soul. I found myself reading passages aloud to anyone who'd listen."―Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks
