Amazon's Description:

The most common cause of complaint at work is 'The Boss' – the boss who exploits you, the boss who disrespects you, the boss who messes things up for you and the boss who simply shouldn't be a boss at all. You can't always change them but you should be able to influence them. Managing your boss is the only way to stop the system grinding you down.

HOW TO MANAGE YOUR BOSS is a step-by-step guide through the anxieties and pitfalls of working life. It aims to help you develop new ways of looking at your relationships at work and new strategies for dealing with them – towards the ultimate goal of ensuring that your boss appreciates the quality of your contribution and supports you in advancing your career.

  • I can't be the only who read BOOBS… right?

    • LOL. Where I work there are more female middle managers than male.

      I much prefer it that way as its usually the male managers who are the most ruthless and merciless.

        Same, but…

        I much prefer it that way as its usually the male managers who are the most ruthless and merciless.

        I find the exact opposite. Thankfully my line manager is a male, he gets to put up with the arrogant, incompetent bimbos…

    Maybe there's another ebook on how to spend less time trying to manage your boss and more on how to do your job properly.

    Chapter 01:
    stop using OZB and reading ebooks in work time.
