About This Book
**"After reading this diary of perversity, you'll wonder why most
long distance entrepreneurs haven't been enshrined in the
Ripley Museum."
__________________________________________________
Barry Harrin gives you a startling insiders view of the secretive and
hidden world behind the locked doors of your local and long distance
companies ... And yes, it will both shock and amaze you
The stories you will read in Guess Who's Listening at The Other
end of Your Telephone? Are all true. Only the names have been
changed to protect the guilty (and on rare occasions the
innocent).
Starting with his career experiences, Harrin quickly moves up the
ladder in a large corporate bureaucracy, all while exposing what
really goes on.
If you've ever worked in a bureaucracy, you will probably find
yourself reminiscing about the good ol' days and how you
survived despite the odds (or maybe you didn't and are thankful
for that).
If you have not yet worked in a large corporate bureaucracy, you
will definitely need to read this book before considering it.
And if you are about to join one of those conglomerates, you
should read this book in preparation for what you are about to
encounter. It will lessen the shock!
The communications industry tends to be a very closed and
incestuous society. Like society in general, it is populated with
many good people working alongside some not so good people.
You will doubtlessly enjoy your view behind these previously
locked and sealed doors.
