An Eye-Opener to the Challenges of Being in the Corporate World--And How to Overcome It.
One of the most heart-breaking experiences Pascale had was when the ideas that he submitted via the Employee Suggestion Program (ESP) was used by the company, without giving him credit. More than the enticing rewards that come with participating in the ESP, he did his best because he wanted to contribute to the growth of the company. However, his efforts went unrecognized and unappreciated. Because of this experience, Pascale grew to be a stronger person. He hopes to use this event in his life as a lesson, that your confidence shouldn't be based on your success or other people's approval.
A company is a place where every person's suggestion is welcome and each employee's skills and talents are celebrated. However, what if the workplace is actually not what we thought it to be? All of these questions are explored in Pascale Batieufaye's tell-all memoir, Outfoxing the Gaming Club.
Outfoxing the Gaming Club is a memoir of the life of Pascale Batieufaye from 1996 to 2004. It sequentially took place over a decade ago when he used to work as a guest service representative at a corporate gambling den.
Through the pages of Outfoxing the Gaming Club, Pascale Batieufaye give us a glimpse of the exploitation and corruption that can happen in the workplace.
Through the book's pages, Batieufaye details how corporate executives undermine their employees and use their ideas as their own, as he found was done with his own ideas when he shared them with leadership at the gambling powerhouse. He also details the mistreatment of the Native Americans he witnessed, who built the very grounds that now contribute to their injustice.
"I have centered Outfoxing the Gaming Club on the emotional suffering I faced while working for my previous employer," shares Batieufaye. "The book outlines guiding principles for those who have experienced maltreatment and anxiety in their own workplace. Readers will discover the crookedness that occurs right under the noses of the patrons, and unearth the oppression that the employees had to deal with on a daily basis."
Pascale's mission for creating this manuscript is to help raise people's awareness about the corruption of one particular Native American gambling. In addition, he hopes that through his book, he can provide comfort and encouragement to those who are feeling disheartened because of the anxiety and stress caused by the workplace--things that antidepressant pills and other pharmaceutical drugs cannot offer.
An exposé for both gamblers and those opposed to it, this book details:
How his own ideas were stolen from right under Batieufaye's feet
Corruption's role in the mental health of himself and other employees at the company
Gambles employees took when attempting to contribute, knowing all too well they may not receive proper credit for those ideas
The emotional suffering that workers had to deal with on a daily basis
And so much more!
A portion of the proceeds of this book will be devoted to a cause that is dear to my heart: reducing the incidence of animal cruelty throughout the world.
