Overview

The Cost of a Deadbeat is a thought-provoking study that takes both a humorous and cynical approach to identifying and defining the major types of deadbeats, and the hidden monetary and emotional costs they bring to society. With over forty years of experience in the workplace, author Michael Webb applies his business knowledge and observation skills to illuminate what most of us unknowingly tolerate each day from the selfish and lazy in our culture. In each chapter, Webb provides personal examples of DNA (Deadbeat Negligent Activities) and categorizes the types of deadbeats, such as:

Workplace deadbeats--slackers, sickies, tenure train riders, and slacking supervisors
Criminal deadbeats--pilferers, prisoners, cyber slugs, scam artists, and petty thieves
Daylight deadbeats--porky politicians, bumbling bureaucrats, and deadbeat voters
Cheater deadbeats--fraud finders, tax evaders, and bankruptcy bums
New generation deadbeats--poor parents and weak schools

The Cost of a Deadbeat will encourage you to join the fight against deadbeats by examining your own behavior and contributing common sense and decency to your own life.

Synopsis

THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! Their monetary and emotional cost is often hidden but enormous and our society accepts much of their behavior with little resistance. Their DNA (Deadbeat Negligent Activity) is paralyzing and their relentless chaos generates bedlam beyond belief.
