Format:Paperback
This book is truly helpful -- I love the examples, since many of them seemed to come right from my own office. A lot of the examples made me uncomfortable because they hit close to home -- but I think that's what a good book is supposed to do. Also, it's quick to read and doesn't have a lot of management-speak that other books on this subject have -- so it makes finding your problem and the solution fast. Well worth the price.
Format:Paperback
This book had me howling with laughter at its trivial tales of office back-stabbing and how to deal with a variety of nasty colleagues. We all have them! The author offers some fine principles to live by for those of us who must be subjected to the capitalist life-plan of 9 to 5! A must to help us all keep our wits and sanity intact!
Format:Paperback
While Randall makes some good common-sense observations about office politics, her "insight" gets lost in her cutesy homilies and contradictory dictums. It's fairly clear this author has an axe to grind about her past experiences, and that much of her advice is more applicable to "pink collar" office jobs. A good wake-up call for people who've been wondering why the working world is less like college and more like high school, but nowhere near the political savvy of Nicolo Machiavelli.
