review 1: pretty funny, quick read elaborating office etiquette tips. With a few qualifiers, incl.......--some are or at least should be obvious (don't forget your food that is taking up all the space in shared fridge and leave it there forever);--some struck me as passive-aggressive (post Dilbert cartoons that illustrate some situation you are pissed about, but not in such an obvious way that it can be traced);--some made sense but were repeated excessively (the guy who wore his weightlifting gloves to the men's room at the company gym and then didn't wash his hands on the way out really got to this author); and--not his job of course to agree with me on everything, but for what it's worth I disagree with his recommending haggling about who ordered what when eating together in a g... moreroup, as opposed to splitting the bill evenly, and I don't share his enthusiasm for people's selling their kids' school fundraiser stuff around the office), but.............mostly wise advice, aimed at those new to the world of work, and delivered in a breezy, conversational tone.
review 2: After the fiasco that was the U of Iowa TA emailing inappropriate photos to her students instead of study guides, as well as 10 weeks now of teaching a freshman seminar, it is pretty clear that newcomers to college and the workforce haven't thought through or been told basic behavior and conflict management skills. I've been surveying the variety of guidebooks available and this one is okay--oriented to corporate cubicle manners with a side of self-preserving online persona curtailment. less
