This hilarious gift book swaps business-speak for actual human language--a viral TikTok sendup of office culture for anyone who's sat through a meeting that could've been an email. Corporatespeak: Take this offline. Translation: I have no idea how to handle this, so I'm just going to hope you forget about it. Whether you're a burned-out professional, a veteran of Zoom calls that could've been emails, or a fresh grad learning to speak fluent office, stand-up comedian Mike Mancusi--as his viral character the Corporate Translator--shares the practical takeaways anyone can use to communicate like a human at work.
- 100+ buzzwords and euphemisms decoded into plain English
- HR-approved ways to express pure hostility to a coworker
