Another Bad Day at the Office?

Envy. Jealousy. Frustration, Deception. Passion.

Do they have to be all in a day's work?

We spend a lot of our lives in the office and, while most of us enjoy what we do, it's often who we're working with that causes us the most angst. It may be the boss who's blind to your talents, the colleague who's not pulling their weight, or the employer who expects you to put firm before family.

But even the thorniest problems can be resolved if we apply a little lateral thinking and common sense.

Jeremy Bullmore brings a witty and original voice to sorting out the personality clashes, divided loyalties and general misunderstandings that mar office life. With rare insight, he picks apart eighty-three specific problems to demonstrate that no matter how dark the cloud, there is always the glimmer of a silver lining.

Above all, Bullmore shows that self-awareness, tact and good humour are the essential ingredients in making sure that you don't have another bad day at the office. it's the book that no one with a P45 can afford to be without.
