George A. Santino retired as a partner at Microsoft, but before that he did just about everything — from fast-food restaurant management to shoe repair to product testing. He interviewed at Microsoft four times before getting hired.
In his new autobiography, Get Back Up, Santino details how life knocked him down and all the ways he recovered from those down times. From his youth in Philadelphia’s rough-and-tumble neighborhoods to a back injury in his 20s after which doctors told him he’d never work again, Santino has been through a lot.
