Description
You're 52. Divorced. Single mom to a teenaged son and a tween daughter. Happily self-employed but worried about the cost of health insurance, the inevitable impact of perimenopause on your body, and whether you should keep dating a sexy plumber who's sweet and funny but lives an hour away and doesn't seem that into you.
So, after 22 years of fulltime freelancing, you take a day job as a tiny, creaky cog in the corporate American machine where you're decades older than most of your coworkers - and you write about it. The Book That (Almost) Got Me Fired: A Year in Corporate America is an entertaining, midlife memoir that shares what (and what not) to do when you make that corporate leap.

"With a mix of openness and humor, James captures what it means to work in content farms that help small businesses with their online presence." --Library Journal
"In this funny, edgy memoir, midlife mom Kelly James shares what it's like to reenter the corporate world after years as a freelancer. Whether she's navigating the digital protocols, working with sweatshirt-wearing millennials half her age, or trying to get a grip on corporate culture, her story will keep you entertained and remind us that while a lot is different, not everything has changed."
--Polly Campbell, author of You, Recharged: How to Beat Fatigue (Mostly), Amp Up Your Energy (Usually), and Enjoy Life Again, (Always)
"With her usual wit and wisdom, Kelly James takes us on a hilarious, heartfelt, and helpful journey with her through the minefields and pitfalls of corporate America. Anyone entertaining a second act, a career pivot, or a re-entry into the workforce after time away will find this book both instructive and fun. James shows that it's all about understanding (and setting) expectations. Blending personal experience with how-to guidance, The Book That (Almost) Got Me Fired is a must-read for anyone wondering if group health insurance and paid holidays are really worth it."
