Work is an inexorable force that controls events we take for granted: when we wake, have lunch, take a vacation; the technology tools we purchase; what kind of home we purchase or rent; and even what time we go to bed. How and where do workers find work-life balance in such an environment? How and where can they find the answer? Hired! Fired! Retired! to the rescue. Moving beyond the typical focus on how to write a dynamite résumé and ace an interview, this book will help workers understand the workplace, find meaning in their chosen careers, deal with the legal issues of their jobs, and discover their true identities. And, AI is included.
