Fed up with office politics? Exploitative bosses? Incompetent underlings? Unscrupulous, dirty-pool competition? Now you no longer need to meekly sit and inwardly seethe; grab Shakespeare's Insults for the Office, a handbook of quotations that uses a new theory of management by invective. Any employee - from the mailroom to the boardroom - can retort appropriately by snapping off sharp but humorous one-liners all written by William Shakespeare, the best barb-slinger of them all, with smug satisfaction. Even the chairman of the board can add an acerbic edge to a professional manner or one-up a big-ego colleague. And doesn't that corporate ladder seem more easily scalable with a quick course in English literature than a labor-intensive MBA?
Illustrated for those who believe that a picture is worth a thousand insults, Shakespeare's Insults for the Office presents nearly 150 slings to attack every type of office worker: bosses and employees can insult each other as easily as clients and the competition can be mocked. Hill and Ottchen even cull quotations to describe office rituals, such as buttering up, meetings, assuaging the law, and quitting.

From the Inside Flap:
ics--the uses of verbal infective to survive in business--is yet another field in which Shakespeare was master. Quill pens and disk drives may come and go, but bosses, underlings, clients and competitors are universal throughout the ages. Here's a sampling of barbs from the bard that each of us can use to convey the warmth of our feelings for others. 20 line illustrations.
