More daring than Dilbert, more subversive than Marx, this ultimate manifesto for millions of lazy "workers" at every level presents the tips, tactics, and techniques for reclaiming lives, sanity--and mid-day naps. Featuring inspiring profiles of famous lazy people and a lexicon of indispensable words to buff up a shabby resume, this book is truly a guide to life in the slow lane.
When I was job hunting I bought a copy of this book. It's got a lot of useful tips that I employ to keep me employed. Why get all stressed out? Just give the appearance that you are busy. This book tells you how. It tells you how bosses are, and things like that. Some of the info is getting dated because technology changes so fast but the core is excellent. Seriously, this book, even though it's sort of funny, it is a very good book. I've loaned mine out many times and bought additional copies to give to my friends.
Very sophisticated humor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The humor in this book is very sophisticated, like The Simpson's. It has that same "bite," and I laughed out loud many times, unexpectedly. It is clearly the result of genuine experiences and real strategic thinking about how to get away with doing as little work as possible. The only reason I'm not giving copies to co-workers is that I intend to put some of the ideas to use myself!
Workaholics need not apply

For those tired of reading endless and self- important business titles such as "Work till you drop" or "How to work constantly, have no life and love it!" this just might be up your alley. This book cuts right to the chase and tells you how to live a stress free life in the nasty corporate world we live in. Oh, and its pretty funny too.
