Spencer Cohn discusses “Beat the Boss”
It’s shocking how little most of us know about the fundamental rules for workplace survival. Few people truly understand how to hang onto their jobs, effectively respond to threats to their jobs or what to do if their main source of income is abruptly terminated.
Author Spencer Cohn is a National Employee Representative, and has helped more than 18,000 clients deal with work-related issues.
Join Spencer as he discusses his book “Beat the Boss,” and know your rights as an employee.
Cohn has appeared as an unemployment law expert on national media outlets including NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” CNN, FOX News and Sirius Satellite Radio. Cohn has also written for The Miami Herald, is a regular contributor to Credit.com and has also been nominated as person “Making a Difference” on “NBC News with Brian Williams.”
