"There is no question that How to Work for an Idiot: How to Survive and Thrive Without Killing Your Boss is a subversive book.

“As amusing as his vignettes may be, the proffered advice is pretty sound and includes solid steps for coping and surviving a daily dose of determined and authoritative stupidity without committing any capital crimes.
