I believe this book is supposed to be satire, but I think that was slapped on the book to make white people more comfortable. This book really exposes white people in the work place--not just corporate but literally everywhere some version of the nonsense featured in the book is absolutely real. I think this book is really one for people that have never had these experiences, so me a Black woman that is the only Black/Person of Color in my direct work place.....nothing in this book was new....it was just 400 pages of reliving my own trauma.
