Office Politics: How Work Really Works by Guy Browning (Ebury Press) . . . . .
Remember the first time you watched 'The Office'? That disturbingly accurate portrayal of life inside the cube ghettoes that blight the corporate Leviathan? Well, get ready to wet your pants again. Browning's previous contribution to world culture was 'Never Hit a Jelly"sh With A Spade', which offered helpful tips of that nature for life generally. In 'Office Politics' we gain an insight into the things that really matter . . . like what is the average radius of any of"ce in which one can expect to find two people who are bonking? Look around your office tomorrow and see if you can guess. One of our other fave truths from the book: "beware companies that say with great sincerity that they are a people business. Roughly translated this means they are in the slave trade. If they're not in the slave trade then perhaps they mean that they are a people business to differentiate them from a baboon business. . . or that they are in the meaningless platitude business or, as it is more often referred to, management consultancy."
