Let's face it: being an employee is basically identical to being in a relationship. You're just dating a company instead of a person. Sometimes you find a great company with a healthy culture that respects your boundaries, but other times you end up with toxic employers that force you to strategically plan your escape. Love-bombing, ghosting, negging, and all of the other dating schemes we know and hate are just as real in the workplace as they are in our love lives. Whether you're an employee who's in the dating pool looking for a new company, or you're currently employed and engaged in the process of navigating compatibility, etiquette, red flags, boundary-setting and beyond at your job, the Dating Edition of Surviving Corporate Hell: Terms for Employees of the Great Resignation Era provides a handy collection of terms, reminding you not to put up with bullshit from an employer that you wouldn't put up with in the dating scene. Use this book to clarify and accurately frame your approach as you navigate your relationship with your current workplace or flirt with the idea of finding your next ex-employer.

What's the word for the ecstasy you feel in your last two weeks working at a company you hate?
