What followed was a period of almost debilitating anxiety and awkwardness--interspersed with minor instances of professional glory--as McCammon learned how to navigate the workplace while feeling entirely ill-equipped for achieving success in his new career. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eWorks Well with Others\u003c\/i\u003e is McCammon's \"relentlessly funny and soberingly insightful\"* journey from impostor to authority, a story that reveals the workplace for what it is: an often absurd landscape of ego and fear guided by social rules that no one ever talks about.
