What if being fired wasn’t the worst thing that ever happened to you?
Surviving & Thriving: A Practical Guide to Navigating Workplace Toxicity is the honest, unflinching guide for employees who were overlooked, pushed out, or quietly broken down by the environments they gave everything to.
Written from lived experience — including no-cause terminations — Rose Ficco names what is really happening in workplaces that reward incompetence, protect bad leadership, and sideline the people who keep the lights on.
You will find practical tools for documenting toxic behaviour, setting real boundaries, navigating the job search after a difficult exit, and rebuilding your confidence, your finances, and your sense of self.
This is not a book about staying positive. It is a book about getting clear, getting out, and finding somewhere you deserve to be... because you were never the problem.
Every copy also includes the 30-Day Job Loss Rescue Planner — the exact tool I built to help people get through the first month after losing a job, day by day.

After 20+ years of navigating toxic workplaces, including her own terminations, she decided to stop staying quiet about it. Surviving & Thriving - A Practical Guide to Navigating Workplace Toxicity is her first book, written because nobody else was talking about it honestly enough.
