Nobody pricks corporate balloons better than Stanley Bing. - New York Post
The ultimate satirist of corporate America, bestselling author Stanley Bing (Sun Tzu Was a Sissy, Crazy Bosses) now offers an outrageous survival guide to the new workplace with How to Relax Without Getting the Axe--an eminently useful handbook that shows you how to retire on the job while still taking up (window) office space and drawing a huge salary. Succeeding in business without really trying is easy when you listen to Bing.
It's not about working harder. It's about mastering the system.
- Delegation as an Art Form: Learn to pass along work with such finesse that you get all the credit without lifting a finger. It's the foundational Executrick.
- The Art of Absence: Master your BlackBerry, email, and other digital tools to create a powerful, engaged presence--from the golf course, the beach, or your couch.
- Weaponized Meetings and Meals: Turn endless meetings and lavish expense-account lunches from time-sinks into strategic tools for avoiding actual labor.
- Workplace Satire with a Purpose: A savagely funny look at corporate culture that doubles as a practical guide to succeeding in business without really trying.
