Thomas O. Davenport is an independent writer and business advisor living in Pasadena, California. Tom reckons his experience forms the perfect foundation for writing both both humorous verse and serious commentary about working and living in the modern world. That experience? More than four decades as an employee, manager, leader and human resource consultant. Tom observed (and, to his occasional chagrin, helped reinforce) many of the cultural phenomena that make our collective work experience alternately rewarding and absurd.
