Opis

Crap managers are everywhere, and at some point in your working life you will find yourself working for one. Is your manager making your working life hell? Do you regularly hide in the staff toilet to avoid him/her? Do you fantasise about winning the lottery and telling him/her where to stick it before handing in your resignation? Then this is the book for you. Read it and you will find yourself laughing out loud at the hilarious descriptions of different manager types and our top-heavy, absurdly bureaucratic management culture. Take tips on how to survive Mags the Micro-Manager or Hamish the Health and Safety freak and all the rest - the dictatorial, ruthless, deluded, lying, moody, inept, idle and insane managers we have to endure. Take comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone because almost everyone in the working world has their own crap manager story. 'Quentin is the Quality Assurance Manager. Not to be confused with Quality Street chocolates, which have a far more useful function.' 'Don't discuss your toothache with a colleague during office hours within earshot of Mags - she'll slap a verbal warning on you before you can say novocaine.' 'Irene can't see why you should have to miss work when there are aids such as portable oxygen machines and ambulatory EEG testers.'
