On the Apr. 17, 2016 edition of Work with Marty Nemko, I read excepts from cartoonist Matt Groening's book, "Work is Hell!" I then invite listeners to weigh in.

Plus, is honesty really the best policy for job hunters? And as usual, you can call in for a Workover. Whatever career conundrum is besetting you or someone you care about, I can usually help.

Work with Marty Nemko is heard every Sunday from 11 AM to noon on KALW, 91.7 FM in San Francisco and worldwide here on KALW.org.

The programs are archived on NPR.org and iTunes and permanently on this web page.
