Don't Be Evil: Bad Bosses, Fake Promises, and My Escape from Big Tech

A whip-smart, funny, and timely memoir about one worker’s 12 years at Google and her journey from buying in to buying out, and being radicalized in a sea of false promises, fake work, and bad bosses.

Hugely clever and uncanny, Don't Be Evil is a biting look back at a surreal era in tech, asking: How do we disentangle ourselves from work, when work demands our whole self? For readers of How to Do Nothing and Careless People, Stapleton's candid book grapples with what it means to find a sense of identity and power beyond our jobs, in a culture that tells us our career is who we are.
