I Matched Your Effort: Work Edition is a dry, relatable collection of workplace scenarios and the perfectly measured responses they inspire.
From vague instructions and last-minute deadlines to quick favours that spiral out of control, this book captures the quiet art of responding to work nonsense with exactly the level of effort it earns - no more, no less.
Each entry follows a simple format:
Them: A painfully familiar workplace situation
You: A calm, professional response calibrated to match the energy provided
This book is for anyone who:
has ever over-prepared for someone who barely skimmed
has learned that enthusiasm is not always rewarded
believes boundaries can be polite, subtle, and slightly sarcastic
Perfect as a gift for coworkers, managers, friends, or yourself, I Matched Your Effort: Work Edition offers humour, validation, and the quiet reassurance that sometimes doing just enough is exactly right.
