Synopsis

Do you dread Mondays? Are you tense about your career? Are you fed up with your boss and colleagues? Is your company squeezing out every drop of your blood? If your answer to any of the above questions is yes, then this is the one-stop book that will help you not just see light at the end of the tunnel, but light up the entire tunnel! Most new employees join the workforce with misguided enthusiasm, putting in hard labour and spirited efficiency only to get disenchanted when their lazy, smooth-talking colleague gets the big promotion or raise. The reason this ‘smooth operator’ does well is because he knows what tilts the system in his favour. He has the behavioural ammunition to address questions such as: • How to appear busy when you are clearly not? • How to write a convincing email about something absolutely insignificant? • What’s the similarity between denial and falling in love with a serial womaniser? What’s that got to do with anything at work? • How to use English as the camouflage for lack of performance, knowledge or capability? • How to use MS Excel as a mark of intelligence? For those who often wonder why the incompetent ones are doing better, this book will reveal that success will be at your doorstep, if only you are ready to ‘work hard-ly’.
