Rating: Summary: jeepers Review: love the premise. loathe the execution. a mile wide and less than a milimeter deep.
Rating: Summary: Cut and Paste Garbage Review: Mr Rosner has succeeded in "compiling" a worthless piece of fiction. There is little original thinking from the author. It strikes this reader as exceedingly negative. He makes no attempt to connnect the worker with his or her own career. Instead, the book is about surviving in a war zone that is completely foreign to the worker-soldier. I am of the belief that each of us is capable of finding a work environment that is positive for our skills and talents. Mr Rosner apparently believes that we are forced into negative work places without choice. It will not be recommended to my career transition clients.
Rating: Summary: lord save us... Review: Mr. Rosner has a wonderful way of taking the questions I have often wondered about, but never asked, and laying the answers at my fingertips in down-to-earth, simple language. There's no walking on egg shells here! Let's face it... some of issues he is dealing with are less than exciting, but this is information we all need under our belts to make the most of the workplace. To take the sting out of it, he sets up each topic with with a funny personal story that leads right into the question at hand. It never failed to give me a sense of light-heartedness about it and set me up to enjoy the topic being tackled. Today's buyer is said to be a savy one, well-educated about the products we buy. I consider a career as the major product in which I invest, and with Mr. Rosner's insight, I think anyone can make the best of our current and/or future workplace. While some of the chapters don't deal with my particular job, I think the workplace as a whole belongs to each of us. For instance, I have found value in the chapter that deals with the troubles faced by the "big boss," because it gives me important insight into how my "big boss" is feeling. Now I can approach him with an insider's viewpoint and score. Anyway, I enjoyed the book a lot and hope you do too. I read on the cover that you can reach him by e-mail with questions. That's true. I've never failed to get a quick response from him to a workplace question. I like that about him. He doesn't yet you started and then leave you hanging. I only wish the book had been longer.

Rating: Summary: Great Reality Check Review: Reading another positive attitiue business book is not going to help me with the reality of having a jerk for a boss. What Rosner offers is help for the sole at work. Told with humor and wit this book is a gem. If you have a real job in the real world this book is a breath of fresh air.
Rating: Summary: Yuck. Review: The one word that comes to mind after reading this book is: Vapid. The cartoons are pretty good though.
