By the best-selling author of The Metrosexual Guide to
Style, a hilarious manual for navigating the many rungs
of the corporate ladder. Does your manager talk endlessly
about "engineering synergy" and "bridging disconnects?" Does
the guy in the cube next to you eavesdrop and peak at what's
in your personal drawer? Have you ever come close to "death
by PowerPoint" as you struggle to stay awake in a meeting?
If you work in any kind of office--large or small--the
answers to these questions are undoubtedly "yes" and you
obviously and desperately need Death By PowerPoint. A
life-saving guide to twenty-first century corporate culture,
it provides incisive coverage of everything you'll need to
get ahead (or to simply stay above water): The Art of
Office Politics--sucking up effectively, how to deal with
control freaks and that annoying guy with all the "new
ideas"
E-Mail Etiquette--responding to ridiculous
requests, managing passive-aggressive messages, and how best
to undo E-damage
Mandatory Fun--proper etiquette
for office parties, the curse of Secret Santa, and
undermining your drunken co-workers
Sex in the Workplace--how to spot video surveillance,
telltale signs that others are getting it on, dumping
etiquette, and the treacherous realm of sex with the boss
