This book is hilarious. Each entry gets funnier and funnier. It's not simply amusing because you recognize all of the office politics and indignities that lois describes. It's brilliant because she describes the office and corporate b.s. better than you can. In the spirit of 9 to 5, I envision Dolly, Jane and Lilly sitting around, getting high, and reading a copy of the Dictionary of Corporate BS, as they plot the downfall of Mr. Hart.
Finally, a dictionary that's entertaining and funny!

Having spent 30+ years in corporate America, I can really identify with these terms. This is a real tongue-in-cheek look at everyday office language in a light-hearted way. Lois, here's one for your next edition: "Census reduction" - call it what you will, but it's true meaning is layoff.
If you liked Office Space....

This is the only dictionary you need in your office. It includes phases and definitions for all the annoying, humiliting and hysterical moments we endure from 9-5. DOCBS makes a great gift for anyone who's ever had to make small talk at the microwave, play with the boss's kids, gone through diversity training or had to sing happy birthday to someone you despise.
So true!!

After 15 years in the corporate workplace, I've heard my share of BS. This book is funny and so true. This would make a great gift for people just entering the workplace, or anyone who's been in a cubicle too long!
