In The Loneliest Employee: Human Resources, M.M. Crusinberry offers a raw and unflinching look into the world of corporate bureaucracy, workplace hypocrisy, and the quiet struggles of those caught in the middle. Told from the perspective of a human resources professional, the book explores the contradictions, power dynamics, and emotional toll of working in a system that often values control over compassion.

Through firsthand experiences, the book delves into the arbitrary enforcement of attendance policies, the dehumanization of workers seen as "replaceable," and the emotional weight of witnessing injustice within an organization that claims to prioritize fairness.
