You've Got to Be Kidding! How to Keep Your Job Without Losing Your Integrity

San Francisco, CA – Owning up to a mistake is never easy, especially when committed in the workplace.  But lying about it not only backfires but makes the situation worse by lessening your integrity and credibility.  The recent scandals of Anthony Weiner, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dominique Strauss-Kahn have placed a spotlight on ethics in the workplace and the consequences of immoral behavior. Nan DeMars, ethics expert and author of You've Got To Be Kidding!: How to Keep Your Job Without Losing Your Integrity (Jossey-Bass; 978-0-470-94751-7; June 2011) discusses how to confront an ethical dilemma at work while still maintaining an enjoyable work environment. 

DeMars has created a how-to guide on creating an principled work environment and dealing with ethical dilemmas.  However what differentiates You’ve Got To Be Kidding! from other ethics books is the fact that it speaks to employees on all levels, not just top executives.  DeMars makes workplace ethics as relevant to employees as it is to managers and executives. 

Throughout the book, readers will find engaging examples and invaluable advice about ethical behavior and practices in the workplace. You’ve Got to Be Kidding! will further inform the reader by:

  • Covering such topics as topics as loyalty, confidentiality, security, office romance, harassment, social networking at work, harassment, workplace bullying, lying for your boss, and even internet mischief.
  • Providing examples that put ethical principles in concrete terms.
  • Serving as a practical manual for assessing, discussing, and resolving ethical dilemmas in the workplace.

DeMars’s ability to take recognizable and relatable examples from today’s headlines makes You’ve Got To Be Kidding! a must read for anyone in the workforce.  With employees at every level being held more accountable than ever, You’ve Got To Be Kidding! serves as an unparalleled guide for anyone looking to do the right thing without losing their integrity or their job.
