Despair Inc.™: Why Workplace “Communication” Is Overrated

According to leading satirist Dr. E.L. Kersten, author of “The Art of Demotivation,” the source of workplace conflict is often misdiagnosed. What’s seen as a simple “misunderstanding” or “failure to communicate” really runs much deeper: Your coworkers don’t actually like you. Kersten helps clarify the situation by translating what they’re really saying.

Speaker: Dr. E.L. Kersten, Co-Founder & COO, Despair Inc.

    What now?

    THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION, but you offer no way of approaching this to find the unity, the harmony, the reconciliation or anything close to that. This is useful for knowing that people don't like you but what now? You offer no solution.

    Because the truth is... we still do not know where to go from here yet. Knowing we're fighting amongst ourselves is half the battle.
