Reckless Disregard: Defending the Truth and Protecting Yourself Against Character Assassins and Workplace Conspiracies is a cautionary tale on the need to protect your reputation against workplace attacks. It investigates the real-life paper trail left by the employers of a respected executive director of a nonprofit who received a termination letter, which wrongly accused him of committing three felonies. His termination was made brutally public, destroying his reputation and ability to find employment. Reckless Disregard is a resource for correct and lawful investigative procedures; defense strategies for workplace problems; applicable laws and ethical codes; identifying the nature of criminal behavior; suggested strategies for others to avoid a disastrous confluence of circumstances; suggested approaches in handling termination situations. Extreme workplace injustice happens all too often, but you CAN defend yourself if you know the signs to look for.
