Workplace life follows the survival laws of nature; animals can teach us better ways to survive in the office jungle. Are we corporate animals? Why do we act so naturally at our desks, just like chimpanzees in a zoo! If you're a scolded subordinate, wondering when to grin; or if you're a tyrannical boss, wondering why your many subordinates look brain-dead, read this book! What's the difference between an angry boss and a roaring gorilla? As a subordinate of that "big monkey," how do you "struggle to survive" in the office? Why is being a lonely "wolf" a sign of failure? Richard Coniff, praised for his book Big Dog: The Species Origin of the Rich, survives in the workplace jungle where "beasts" roam. In this book, he tells us that workplace life follows the laws of nature, and real animals can teach us better ways to survive in the office jungle.
