An easy to read memoir recapping twenty-one years of employment with one of the largest firms in the world. Not from the view of a senior executive, sociologist, psychologist or business school professor but, refreshingly, from an employee and first-line manager perspective. "Avoiding the Blues" recounts how, through his own unique path through life, one regular person was taught life-changing lessons that we all are exposed to at some point. A must read for anyone who feels their individuality being squashed by the ever-present corporate world. The time has come for individuals to wrest back control of their time and, more importantly, to proudly wave their unique flag.
