About this item
A witty, practical guide to navigating 200 difficult professional conversations, from the host of the popular website Ask A Manager, and New York Magazine's work advice columnist.There's a reason Alison Green has been dubbed the "Dear Abby of the work world." Ten years as a workplace advice columnist taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they can't find the right words. Here, she takes on the tough conversations you might need to have during your career and gives you the wording to do it. You'll learn what to say when: * your coworker keeps pushing her work on you * your new job is very different than what you agreed to * your boss seems unhappy with your work * your boss keeps stealing your lunch * you catch an employee in a lie * colleagues keep making judgmental comments about your diet * your coworker's loud speaker phone calls are making you homicidal * and plenty more difficult or awkward situations you might find yourself in!With sharp, sage advice and letters from real-life readers, this guide will help you navigate the stormy seas of office politics.
