A wry and useful look at the patterns of bullying in the workplace
The definitive guide to understanding, counteracting, and not becoming an a**hole. I am qualified to make this judgment because (a) I've been an a**hole a few times and (b) been a victim of a**holes more than a few times
This meticulously researched book . . . puts into plain language an undeniable fact: the modern workplace is beset with a**holes . . . Sure to generate discussion around watercoolers
Entertaining and important ... This book is a blow for humanity as well as management
