Kim Ho: From office worker to professional
“The way workplaces treat their employees has already changed. Now is the time for employees to change the way they treat their workplaces.” What kind of work will I be doing 10 years from now? When is the best time to leave my job? What can I do at work for growth rather than competition? Is there a way to ‘long-run’ in the workplace? These are concerns and questions that every office worker has likely pondered at least once. Although the shelf life of a job is shortening, aren't employees pouring most of their waking hours into work, even sacrificing sleep? Is this inevitable when living an office life? Do you know what you desire in your life and professionally? These are the fundamental questions this book asks.
