书籍简介

  这是一本关于野心、性别和亚马逊网站内艰苦十年的坦率、风趣的回忆录,出自《没有什么好事能从这里产生》一书的作者之手。


"一本特别而精彩的书"。——《四千周》作者奥利弗·伯克曼


为了事业,你会牺牲什么?你所有的空闲时间?你的自我价值感?你的理智?


2006 年,克里斯蒂·图灵顿(Kristi Coulter)辞去了舒适而乏味的工作,来到快速发展的亚马逊公司(Amazon.com)担任一个充满希望的新职位,但她万万没有想到,随之而来的是令人心碎的压力。


她很快就找到了自己渴望已久的挑战和刺激--同时还有七天工作制、救生艇演习、普遍的职业倦怠以及主要由恐惧驱动的企业文化。但是,追逐、能见度以及股票期权让她陶醉,就这样,她一待就是 12 年--直到她再也认不出镜子里的那张脸,也认不出自己所肩负的使命。


《离职面谈》毫不吝啬、荒诞不经、幽默风趣,是一次难得的亚马逊熔炉之旅。在这个崇尚女性雄心壮志却对现实嗤之以鼻的世界里,它以亲切、出人意料的方式讲述了一位充满干劲的女性的工作生活。


A candid, intensely funny memoir of ambition, gender, and a grueling decade inside Amazon.com, from the author of Nothing Good Can Come from This.


"A unique and brilliant book." ―Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks


What would you sacrifice for your career? All your free time? Your sense of self-worth? Your sanity?


In 2006, Kristi Coulter left her cozy but dull job for a promising new position at the fast-growing Amazon.com, but she never expected the soul-crushing pressure that would come with it.


In no time she found the challenge and excitement she'd been craving―along with seven-day workweeks, lifeboat exercises, widespread burnout, and a culture driven largely by fear. But the chase, the visibility, and, let's face it, the stock options proved intoxicating, and so, for twelve years, she stayed―until she no longer recognized the face in the mirror or the mission she'd signed up for.


Unsparing, absurd, and wickedly funny, Exit Interview is a rare journey inside the crucible that is Amazon. It is an intimate, surprisingly relatable look at the work life of a driven woman in a world that loves the idea of female ambition but balks at the reality.
