Customer Reviews

Survival at it's best
This book is just a brilliant little gem
You come home from a hard day at the office and read this and it cheers you up. it's funny yet provides some very useful and useable tips it day to day scenarios at work. I have all of the current books and they are all useful and funny

I would recommend this book and others in the same group to anyone and it makes a great present to people who are difficult to buy gifts for.

How true!
Oh my! I bought this book as a joke. My current boss is a class A prize...well, I won't say the word that springs to mind! I thought it might have a bit of fun and cheer my miserable and overstressed workmates up at the same time.
Although these survival handbook type books are always tongue in cheek, there's a lot of good solid sound advice that would really work in real life should you ever be faced with those situations. I've tried a few of the "nightmare boss" suggestions already and - they've worked!
It's funny and charming too. Worth a the price for a chuckle.
Buy it, read it, leave it around the office for your boss to casually stumble across.
