Book excerpt: Satirist Justin Racz, author of the wildly successful 50 Jobs Worse Than Yours, returns to the world of cubicles, water coolers, and boardrooms-this time targeting the workingman's ultimate nemesis: his boss. From the bullies to the bureaucrats to the bunglers, bosses are as unavoidable as they are insufferable. Thankfully, 50 Bosses Worse Than Yours is here to remind us that no matter how bad we think we have it, there are worse people to be taking orders from. Including entries such as "Condescending Rita," "Enforced After-Work Drinks Proposer," "Ten Years Younger Than You and Makes Double Your Salary," and the original bad boss, "Your Dad," this book presents the most unbearable, cruel-intentioned, and mind-bogglingly incompetent employers ever to pass through Human Resources.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Download or read book Living for the Weekend written by Kevin Hunter and published by Warrior of Light Press. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living for the Weekend examines the pitfalls, struggles, challenges, as well as the benefits in the current modern day work set up. This is also interwoven with non-denominational spiritual and practical tips, guidance, messages, and discussions on ways to incorporate more balance and enlightenment to the demands of a cutthroat material driven world. The content benefits both employers and employees who have interest in improving their well-being and success as individuals, which carries over to the success of one's business. Author, Kevin Hunter, has been in the work force for over three decades studying, researching, and gaining endless experience in the modern day work world. He understands what others struggle and go through to survive in jobs that are not always fulfilling, while trying to balance that with a healthy personal life. Having a healthy, fun personal life equates to a fulfilling spiritual life, regardless of your personal interests and beliefs. His practical knowledge is also entwined with spiritual related wisdom from above to help you get inspired, motivated, and empowered to accomplish your life purpose goals. Working hard to ensure your bills are paid can leave your soul spiritually starved for soul nourishment. When your ultimate goal is to obtain enough money to be comfortable that you become carried away in that current, then there is little to no room for Divine enrichment. Many work to survive in jobs they despise because it's the way it is. As a result, they experience and endure all sorts of emotional pain that comes in the guise of depression, agitation, resentment, sadness, anger, or any other kind of negative stressors. Some silently suffer through this emotional strain that gradually kills off their life force preventing them from moving forward and onward. If you don't have something to look forward to in terms of your passion, life purpose, a healthy social life, positive fun filled activities, and hobbies to balance that burden outside of that, then that can add an avalanche of tension and challenges. Having a healthy positive happy life outside of work helps in making that job you despise somewhat more tolerable than if you didn't have positive activities to dive into while not at work. Even if you love your job, you still need to incorporate that balanced personal time outside of that. It will add fun, lightness, great ideas, and rewards to the job as well as yourself. Hard work is applauded, but imbalance blocks you from achieving what you desire. Ultimate authentic success surrounds your soul's growth and evolving process. It's when you realize that none of the physical ego driven desires matter in the end. Any amount of goodness displayed from your heart is the true measure of real accomplishment. Chapters topics include: The Modern Day Work World; The Imbalance Between Work, Personal, and Spiritual Life; Bullying, Rudeness, Assault, and Tantrums In the Work Place; Driven to Excess and Complaining Into Abundance; Miserable Commutes and Generational Influences in a Work Environment; Working From Home Remotely and the Work Benefits and Challenges In a Technological World; Faced with Toxic People in the Workplace; Keeping Professional and Personal Life Separate; Knowing When to Quit and When to Move On; Working with the Law of Attraction; Partaking in Work That Pleases; Energy Vampires and Walking Toxins; Abundance, Money, and Productivity; Detoxing Your World, Paying Off Debts, and Charity Giving; Working to Find Meaning In Your Life; Become Your Own Authority; You Are Worthy and Deserving of Blessings.

Download or read book Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant written by Lynn Taylor and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-06-29 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indispensable guide to dealing with challenging, childish boss behavior and building a great career, with laugh- out-loud humor built in. Based on extensive interviews among workers, managers and psychologists, Tame Your Terrible Office TyrantTM draws hilarious but true parallels between toddlers and managers. When under stress, both often have trouble moderating their power, or lose the ability to think rationally. Traits in common include tantrum-throwing, demanding, stubborn, moody, fickle, self-centered, needy and whiny behavior. BADD (Boss Attention Deficit Disorder) is discussed as part of “Short Attention Spans.” There are 20 chapter traits in all, divided into “Bratty” and “Little Lost Lamb” categories, for easy reference, including real anecdotes and many useful tips. When bad bosses run amok in companies, nobody wins. This book shows readers how to build positive relationships with even the most out-of-control boss, and still thrive in your job. The key to success lies in dealing with a Terrible Office Tyrant (or TOTTM) much like a parent deals with a troublesome toddler. With true stories and time-tested solutions, this is the perfect guide managing a boss stuck in his Terrible Twos. Taylor takes you behind all the bossy blustering, so that you can focus on getting ahead – and achieve career excellence. Savvy top management will also gain insight on what not to do with their team. They know that Terrible Office Tyrant (TOT) managers may not be in plain sight (they don’t leave juice stains on the hallway carpet!) But they do wreak havoc on the bottom line. A special section helps senior management and Human Resource departments mitigate TOT behavior for a more productive workplace.

Download or read book Good Boss Bad Boss written by Robert I. Sutton and published by Business Plus. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now with a new chapter that focuses on what great bosses really do. Dr. Sutton reveals new insights that he's learned since the writing of Good Boss, Bad Boss. Sutton adds revelatory thoughts about such legendary bosses as Ed Catmull, Steve Jobs, A.G. Lafley, and many more, and how you can implement their techniques. If you are a boss who wants to do great work, what can you do about it? Good Boss, Bad Boss is devoted to answering that question. Stanford Professor Robert Sutton weaves together the best psychological and management research with compelling stories and cases to reveal the mindset and moves of the best (and worst) bosses. This book was inspired by the deluge of emails, research, phone calls, and conversations that Dr. Sutton experienced after publishing his blockbuster bestseller The No Asshole Rule. He realized that most of these stories and studies swirled around a central figure in every workplace: THE BOSS. These heart-breaking, inspiring, and sometimes funny stories taught Sutton that most bosses - and their followers - wanted a lot more than just a jerk-free workplace. They aspired to become (or work for) an all-around great boss, somebody with the skill and grit to inspire superior work, commitment, and dignity among their charges. As Dr. Sutton digs into the nitty-gritty of what the best (and worst) bosses do, a theme runs throughout Good Boss, Bad Boss - which brings together the diverse lessons and is a hallmark of great bosses: They work doggedly to "stay in tune" with how their followers (and superiors, peers, and customers too) react to what they say and do. The best bosses are acutely aware that their success depends on having the self-awareness to control their moods and moves, to accurately interpret their impact on others, and to make adjustments on the fly that continuously spark effort, dignity, and pride among their people.

Shows employees how to ask for what they need to succeed in their high-pressure jobs Shatters previously held beliefs about how employees should manage up Outlines what employees must get from their managers: clear expectations; the skills needed to perform their jobs; honest feedback, recognition or rewards A novel approach to managing up, It's Okay to Manage Your Boss is an invaluable resource for employees who want to work more effectively with their managers.
