About the author
Reid Quinn
Celeste Hana is a writer, content strategist, and certified survivor of the modern corporate grind. With over a decade of experience in soul-sucking offices, endless Zoom calls, and middle-management chaos, she’s seen it all and lived to write about it.
She’s worked across industries from tech to publishing, often as the youngest (and most quietly frustrated) person in the room. Celeste has questioned why we’re told to smile through burnout, pretend to love our commutes, and bond over awkward team-building. This book is her way of saying: you’re not the problem, the system is.View all audiobooks by Reid Quinn
