Office Politics --- Guy Browning 5/5


This is one book which everyone who has a salaried job should read. And it is the bible if you happen to work in an MNC ( mind numbing calamity). It is what P. G. Woodhouse would have described a 21st century workplace. The tone of the book is humorous and light. The best part is that inspite being sarcastic, the author manages to never leave any bad light at the end of each chapter. The book is divided into chapters which are on topics ranging from HR pot-plants in offices to toilets that are there in modern day corporations. It would be a tough ask to come across anything, which the book does not dedicate a chapter to, in your office. Written with a typical English humor, the book is definitely among one of the best books I have read in recent times. It is ironical that not many people have read it or have heard about the author.
