Synopsis

You’ve had a bad day at work and need to know that you’re not the only person who’s been through the workplace torture chamber. Or you just want to laugh to stay sane after a crazy-making day with your boss. You may be in a tricky situation and need some advice. This book will help you navigate the dysfunctional games played in the workplace and make the workplace culture better for everybody. This survival guide will help readers, especially those entering the corporate work environment for the first time, recognize dysfunctional cultures, terrible bosses, untrustworthy co-workers, and other pitfalls. Readers may recognize some of their own dysfunctional behavior. And they may just figure out how to survive in this whacky world of work. There are many books out there about all the good things that happen in the corporate world, but very few speak about the reality of what truly happens day-to-day, working with people. Reading this book is an opportunity for you to open your eyes and ears to the reality of the madness that exists in some work environments and to see what a good workplace looks like. This is not your typical business culture book. Be warned: the language is raw and it’s real. Cheat Codes & Gaming Strategies: Even if you’ve never played a video game, you can appreciate how shortcuts, workarounds, warnings, and advice can make life easier. You have to work with people, and people will play games. You’ll find useful tools for improving your communication skills, conflict resolution, and interpersonal relations—all to help you survive the office games. Games People Play: Here are real-life stories of ridiculous behavior and hilarious workplace situations that hurt employee morale. There’s a little Coda to help you digest the takeaway. Step Up to the Plate—Be a Good Lifetime Player: This section will give you what amounts to an advanced degree on how to thrive in corporate America.
