Truviv, Inc seems, on the surface, like a great place to
work. However, there’s a toxic culture underneath that has prompted the women
in the office to create the “B.A.D. Men” list to document the wrong doings and
sexism of their male co-workers. When one of the men from this list is
positioned to take over as CEO, the women know they must take action to prevent
further harm at the hands of men like him.
A timely and surprising novel about harassment in the
workplace and one group’s fight to end it, this book approaches everyday sexism,
and instances of extreme misconduct, with fire and tact. It’s a brave
inspection of the stigma of speaking up and the ethics and consequences of
keeping quiet when lines of appropriate behavior are breached. While the author’s
intended message is apparent, the book asks the reader to consider each
character’s experience and background to form a deeper understanding of their
actions and reactions. A must read for working men and women in a post #metoo
world.
