Synopsis

"Officespeak" is a handy tongue-in-cheek guide brought to you by seasoned nine-to-fiver David Martin, that will help rid you of your articulate tendencies and teach you to fit in with the rest of the working stiffs through expert use of the sports metaphors, acronyms, and trite expressions common to the workplace. In addition to decoding the language bandied about the office, he provides tips on subverting the motivational propaganda of HR, explains the art of mumbling your phone number when leaving a voice mail to ensure no call back, suggests ways of sprucing up your job title from 'Assistant' to 'Senior Calendarizing Associate and Regional Duplication Manager', and offers up foolproof catchphrases to use in meetings to communicate effectively with fellow brainwashed co-workers. It's the perfect buy for anyone entering the workplace for the first time, changing careers, being promoted, or just spending forty hours a week chained to their desks.
