It's Just Business: P.S. You're an A$$hole

By Dave Peters

We've heard it before, in some form or another: It's nothing personal, it's just business. While they claim it is meant to be reassuring, this phrase couldn't be further from the truth. It's a lie and a form of abuse. Abusers hide behind it, enabling them to perpetuate their toxic behaviour and avoid uncomfortable interactions. "It's just business" has morphed into a pervasive culture, affecting people's personal and professional lives. Author Dave Peters has seen-and experienced-what inevitably follows: feeling confused, victimized, and powerless. But after years of seeing this abuse firsthand, Dave developed the techniques to overcome it and teach his clients to do the same. And now you can too.

Through research, anecdotes, and scenarios, It's Just Business: P.S. You're an A$$hole shares invaluable insights on how the "it's just business" culture came to be, who says and perpetuates its use, and why it exists. Following a directed step-by-step approach, readers will learn how to identify abusive behaviour, develop the necessary skills to overcome it, and take back their power.

Candid and practical, It's Just Business shows how to eliminate toxicity in the workplace and create an environment where everyone feels safe and can rise to their potential. But more than that, this self-help guide calls out abusive behaviour patterns and shows that workers will no longer tolerate the exploitation pervading business culture today.
