I forgot to announce that we had a winner, and the book is on its way across the country.

I’ve been seeing this book everywhere, but just never picked it up. Even though I’ve been out of the corporate world for six years now (am currently a stay-at-home Mom) I just might pick this up anyway. Thanks for the review.

This is the next book on my “to buy” list. Not only do I work in a cubicle in a typical office, but I do really enjoy the show “The Office.” I’m curious to see how similar/different they are.

I thought the book was great. Loved the use of the “Corporate We.”

Ha. I’ve been shovelling it for 20 years. And had the similarly painful experience of working for a company in its death throes. (Self-inflicted death throes, that is, as the company sold out to a private equity firm which quickly sold off most of its assets and purged most of the staff, myself included.) The last two months there, between getting the official word and our termination date, was the weirdest professional experience I’ve ever had. Between that and working for a tech company in the late 1990s, I think the book will really hit home for me.

Pick me, pick me. God knows I’ve spent 15 years dealing with corporate bullshit.
