Overview

Bacon bits. Stressed-out technology teams. Health directives. Corporate chaos. These ingredients may not sound like a protest against the establishment, but when mixed together with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of social media, suddenly fried pork becomes the voice of the people and a beacon of change. Where the Hell is My Bacon? is the unicorn story of how an innocent pork product mastered change management and employee engagement in a modern-day corporate culture. The removal of bacon bits from the company cafeteria salad bar-courtesy of an executive health mandate-could not have come at a worse time. The IT department was in the middle of a demanding transition of their day-to-day work to an offshore team. People feared for their jobs, confidence in management was nil, communication was abysmal, and morale was at an all-time low. So, when the health decree came down and bacon disappeared from the cafeteria, it was the final blow. Following a single social media post lamenting the loss of their beloved pork, the voice of the department exploded. The masses had suffered enough and revolted in a grand, food-centric protest. It was a sad day for bacon...but an important moment for the people, who uncovered important lessons about employee engagement, communication, and trust.

"""This is a great book that captures the essence of a inspirational movement. Changes big or small have an impact on employees and it's not a one size fits all when it comes to how you manage the change. I really enjoyed reading this book and the story kept me engaged from beginning to end. If you are looking for a good book on change management, leadership, and awesome bacon recipes, look no further."" ""This book does not disappoint. Great change management and leadership discussion, yet done so in a relatable, fun, and well-written way. I loved the stories and the way the bacon is allegory for broader issues, and why. Can't wait to read more from this author!"" ""This book only took me two hours to devour and I can honestly say that I laughed out loud. A lot. It's stated to be a true story. One that I did not personally experience, yet the book spoke to me. I have heard (and used) many of the terms sprinkled throughout the pages in my 12 years within IT companies. However, you don't have to work in IT to appreciate and learn from this book. Read this book if you have ever felt powerless in the changing events in your life. Read it if you have ever needed to feel commradry or like your voice is being heard. Heck, read it if you like bacon and are in need of some bacon recipes (conveniently located in the back of the book.) Spoiler alert....this book is about bacon but it's NOT about bacon."""
