Review :
Do you think you're a hardworking professional who has a lot to offer? Are your ideas brighter than everyone else's in your team? Did you deserve a standing ovation after your last performance appraisal? Even if the answer to these questions is a resounding yes, do you still find yourself trailing behind corporate losers - the devil boss who takes all the credit; the slimy politician who stole your promotion; the sweet-talking weasel whom everyone seems to love? Job Be Damned is the kick in the backside that you so desperately need. This book recognizes that you are an average employee and ensures that, by the time you're done reading it, you'll be the best average employee there can be. You will gain a unique perspective to help navigate every tricky workplace situation-and unmatched bullshit-doling and handling capabilities to wing it through your spectacularly unexciting job. After all, isn't that what corporate success is all about?
This book is a satirical take on the modern corporate world. The book is divided into six parts, each covering a different aspect of professional life. It also gives advice to early careers, middle management and senior leadership members on how to 'succeed in becoming the best average'. The book is completely laden with sarcasm and exaggerated humour. This book really made me laugh out loud and I was able to relate to most of it. The cover of this book is one of my favourites. It has been designed to perfection without leaving out the humourous touch. The book is well organized and detailed including tables and figures. The humour is on point but the book itself could have been shorter. After the first half, I gradually started losing interest and the content became repetitive. At the end of each chapter, there are feel-good anecdotes which mention incidents where big companies and famous people have made blunders which adversely affected their jobs. At the end of the book, there is a questionnaire which I enjoyed completing. Whether you are starting out in the corporate world or you are way above in the organization chart, you are sure to relate to this book. So pick up this book, laugh out loud and let your ‘Job Be Damned’.
Rating : 4.1/5
