Do you know the agony of the away day? The perils of Hot Desking, office politics, romances and parties?The sheer terror of work reunions or ?teleconferencing??
Malcolm Burgess feels your pain. In this blackly hilarious A-Z of office life, he exploits the deep vein of cynicism and rebelliousness that runs through every office. Better than any stress-ball or executive toy, the result is an essential weapon in the war against the modern horror of the 9.00 ? 5.30 sentence.
The book sprang from the author?s weekly column in London?s Metro newspaper and also includes a unique ?office buzzwords? section drawn from his Times column.
Malcolm Burgess is a journalist and scriptwriter. His recent comic series have appeared in The Times, the Mail on Sunday?s You magazine, the Evening Standard, the Financial Times and the Guardian. He worked in book publishing for many years and has since run the Essex Book Festival. He lives near Brentwood.
