內容簡介:
Should I tell my boss what I think of him? How can I be more political and still be myself? ''I have to sack my friend or fire someone better''. I am a foreigner and my views are ignored. Typical conundrums faced by many of us, and just a few of the hundreds sent every week to Lucy Kellaway''s popular ''agony aunt'' column in the "Financial Times". The sharp down-to-earth advice is invaluable for anyone negotiating the minefield of the modern office. Whether it''s a problem of working with an ex-lover, firing a litigious employee or dealing with accusations of racism, Kellaway''s advice is always simple and practical, and essential reading for those trying to cope with troublesome co-workers. Better still, there is the wisdom, rage, expertise and folly of the managers and self-appointed experts who add their thoughts. This is like "Why Don''t Penguins'' Feet Freeze?" for business. And very funny too.
