When corporate executives find themselves trading corner offices for prison cells, they need a new kind of business strategy. This satirical guide transforms the language and tactics of corporate success into prison survival wisdom. The book teaches fallen CEOs how to climb from the bottom of the prison hierarchy to the top in seven days. It includes a translation dictionary that converts corporate jargon into prison slang and back again. Readers learn the art of cell decoration using feng shui principles, discover which prison meals earn the highest ratings, and master techniques for avoiding literal backstabbing incidents. The guide presents the seven key habits that separate successful prisoners from unsuccessful ones. This parody manual offers a darkly comic take on executive downfall, suggesting that the skills needed to survive corporate culture and prison culture may not be so different after all.
