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 For Those Who Know the Ending written by Malcolm Mackay and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Sivok is in trouble. Tied to a chair, plastic strips biting his wrists, inside a deserted warehouse . . . There are only so many ways this scenario can end, most of them badly. For now his best hope is figuring out who put him here -- and staying conscious long enough to confront them. To stay awake he reviews the past year of his life: evading the law in the Czech Republic by running to Glasgow, settling into a borderline respectable relationship with his landlady, and getting back into the life at the very bottom of the criminal ladder, alongside Usman Kassar, a cocky, goofy kid anxious to prove himself. The job should be simple: Smash heads, grab cash, run. The trouble with being two outsiders is, you don't always know whose heads are too dangerous to crack, or whose cash is too hot to handle... In sharp, precise prose, Malcolm Mackay -- an "elegant stylist" unmatched in contemporary noir (Chicago Tribune) -- captures the character of Glasgow and its underworld denizens.

An international crime organization sends a professional burglary team, headed by a brilliant and confident seductress willing to break any rule. She conceals her true intentions.

Download or read book From the Mouth of the Mamba written by William Stegall and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-04 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This operations is based upon author's knowledge of how a Bio-Terrorist operation, with direct leads to the Al Queda Terrorist organization, could have happened. Indeed, there are certain truths mixed in with this story, but it would have been considered classified by both the government of the United States and the Secretary General of the United Nations. 11 September 2001 de-classified this story which began in Nazi Germany and continued into a small remote village in the Congo. There are strong ties into the Vatican, the World Health Organization, and a highly placed terrorist mastermind. The ultimate plot is to spread a deadly disease around the world with almost instant death to the people infected. This trail of terror and the pursuit of those involved will lead from New York City to Africa, Geneva, and culminate in the Caribbean Island of Curacao.
