    About this ebook

    Every morning when you walk into the workplace, you watch your step for landmines. Every time you pop your head up above your cubicle, you see arrows flying in your direction. You duck, just to avoid them. Fearing for your safety, you dig a foxhole and bury yourself in it for the next nine hours. At the end of the day, when you walk out of the workplace, you thank your lucky stars that you came out alive.

    The workplace is a war zone. Which side will you choose?

    Do you want to be the likeable colleague who gets along with everyone? Do you want to just put your head down, work hard and maximize your potential? Do you want to be the best team player you can be?

    Then this book is NOT for you.

    This book is for those of us who have always wondered… 

    * Why the reward for good work is usually more work…  

    * Why good work never really seems to speak for itself… 

    * Why incompetence seems to be tolerated at the workplace… 

    * Why some people never really put in their full effort at work… 

    * Why workplaces are so fond of calling themselves “family”… 

    * Why some people just don’t bother with office politics, while others are absolutely in the thick of it…

    If this whets your appetite, please read on. I repeat. The workplace is a war zone, and we do what we must to survive. Lock and load.
