    About this ebook

    A humorous collection of unbelievable-but-true stories of workplace misbehavior, mischief, and mayhem . . .
     
    You’ve heard the stories, seen the videos, and shaken your head in disbelief every time an employee does something so completely insane, out of line, or just plain stupid that it makes headlines. And you wonder “Did they really think they were going to get away with that?!?”
     
    Of course, they did—until they got caught.
     
    For decades, attorney Richard Burton has worked for companies that needed protection when their employees act out. Employees Gone Wild collects some of the most outrageous stories from Burton’s years on the job, along with practical advice on how companies and the people who work for them can avoid the same pitfalls.
     
    Hilarious and eye-opening—and with cartoons from artist Ian Baker to illustrate the mayhem—Employees Gone Wild is a laugh-out-loud collection of the most unbelievable office antics and wild workplaces you’ll be glad you never experienced.
