There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together |

| business goodie bag ideas: Grace Like Scarlett Adriel Booker, 2018-05-01 Though one in four pregnancies ends in loss, miscarriage is shrouded in such secrecy and stigma that the woman who experiences it often feels deeply isolated, unsure how to process her grief.

She may feel guilty, ashamed, angry, depressed, confused, or alone. With vulnerability and tenderness, Adriel Booker shares her own experience of three consecutive miscarriages, as well as the stories of others. She tackles complex questions about faith and suffering with sensitivity and clarity, inviting women to a place of grace, honesty, and hope in the redemptive purposes of God without offering religious clichés and pat answers.

| business goodie bag ideas: Surfing in Stilettos Carol E. Wyer, 2012-06-01 Amanda Wilson is all geared up for an exciting gap-year, travelling across Europe. She soon finds her plans thwarted when she is abandoned in France with only a cellarful of Chateau Plonk, a large, orange Space Hopper, and Old Ted, the dog, for company. Fate has intervened to turn Amanda's life on its head. First the campervan breaks down. Then her dopey son, Tom, who is staying in their house in the UK, begins wrecking it, one piece at a time. The jaw-dropping video Skype calls that her irrepressible mother insists on making are, by contrast, making Amanda's humdrum trip even less palatable. Finally, she discovers that her new-found, French friend, Bibi Chevalier, had engineered a plan to ensure that her philandering husband would never stray again; unfortunately, Amanda is unwittingly drawn into the scheme, becoming a target. Meanwhile, on a beach in Sydney, a lonely Todd Bradshaw realises that his first true love, Amanda Wilson, is definitely the only woman for him. Can he get back into her good books and hopefully back into her arms with his latest plan? Or will fate intervene yet again and turn everyone's lives upside down? |
| business goodie bag ideas: Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines Carol E. Wyer, 2011-06-01 Amanda Wilson can't decide between murder, insanity and another glass of red wine. Facing 50 and all that it entails is problematic enough. What's the point in minking your eyes, when your husband would rather watch 'Russia Today' than admire you, strutting in front of the television in only thigh boots and a thong? Her son has managed to perform yet another magical disappearing act. Could he actually be buried under the mountain of festering washing which is strewn on his bedroom floor? He'll certainly be buried somewhere when she next gets her hands on him. At least her mother knows how to enjoy herself. She's partying her twilight years away in Cyprus. Queen of the Twister mat, she now has a toy boy in tow. She really shouldn't have pressed that send button. The past always catches up with you sooner or later. Still, her colourful past is a welcome relief to her monochrome present; especially when it comes in the shape of provocative Todd Bradshaw, her first true love. Soon Mandy has a difficult decision to make; one that will require more than a few glasses of Chianti.This witty novel tells the tale of Amanda Wilson who is rapidly approaching 50 and her husband Phil as they struggle with enforced early retirement in a rural village in Staffordshire. Alas, the road to getting older appears to be bumpier and more slippery for the couple - literally and figuratively as they deal not only with each other's company but also with elderly neighbours, a college-dropout son, a party animal for a mother, Amanda's ex-boyfriend and moles in the garden. Amanda's story is presented through her blog posts. As Amanda shares her woes and joys on the blogosphere, she amasses an eclectic bunch of loyal followers who become her virtual friends and who add witty comments at the end of each post. All of the characters in this book are realistically portrayed. The situations they get themselves into are so normal (for want of a better word) - even the outrageous ones. Yet there are unexpected twists and turns as well that could either make you holler with delight or become teary eyed. There are lessons to be learned here too, whether you are in your teens or beyond.The biggest one for me is realizing that more often than not, those things which we wish for are already within our grasp. They may not come beautifully gift wrapped or perfectly packaged but it is how we perceive and handle them that makes all the difference. This book is wickedly funny, thoroughly enjoyable and wonderfully written. Author Carol E. Wyer has certainly gifted us with one of the best books this year.

| business goodie bag ideas: None of Your Business! T.J. Sapp, 2023-03-21 None of Your Business! is a novel about the richest business leader in the world, John Mako, spanning one year of absurdist changes to our society with the goal of being both entertainingly thoughtful and outside the box. Nowadays as businesses and global corporations have more and more power, it allows them unprecedented influence and control in society. What if the leaders of one of those companies - or specifically, the richest and most powerful business leader in the world, had a sudden epiphany and dedicated himself wholly to making the world a better place? What if the world’s premiere business leader spent all of their resources on transforming society? This novel looks at this concept through an absurdist, whimsical lens. For example, taking the concept of Work/live situations like real factories abroad but satirizing the concept. Or actual stores of ‘Free Stuff’ to parody the concept of liberal takers. This is all wrapped around John Mako’s crisis of conscience. None of Your Business! - can be categorized as satirical fiction, with the elements of a self-help-book. A blend of Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K. Dick, and Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land, it’s a book meant to be absurdist, thought-provoking, and provocative. Is this really the future of business, or whose business? Or maybe that’s None of Your Business! |
