商品簡介
What if I told you the office isn't just a workplace-it's a carefully engineered theater of control? Every friendly handshake, every 'quick chat, ' every compliment timed just so, is part of an invisible script. A play designed not to support you-but to mold you, bend you, and quietly drain the best parts of you while making you feel grateful it's happening. That promotion they dangled? That wasn't for your growth. It was bait. That urgent deadline? Manufactured pressure. That "we're all family here" slogan? Psychological sedation.
I wrote this book because far too many intelligent, capable people go to work thinking they're in control, while unknowingly surrendering to systems built to manipulate them. I've seen sharp minds dulled by emotional exhaustion, ambition repurposed into obedience, and loyalty used as a leash. And worst of all? Most never realize it's happening. They call it burnout. I call it psychological theft.
