The Funny Side Of The Corporate Machine: William Goodspeed's 'Buzz Kill'

William Goodspeed, after years as a corporate manager and a voice in the boardrooms of various firms, has dedicated the latest chapter in his career to exposing the more hilarious side of company culture as an author. “As my career progressed I noticed a lot of funny things happening in companies,” says Goodspeed, who’s 56. Bureaucratic absurdities, corporate correctness, amusing human behavior—Goodspeed wrote them all down just so he could remember them. “Then I decided, after I quit working full time, to weave it all together into a novel.”
