Incomplete!- Not thorough enough but intelligent,
By
This review is from: Stop Pissing Me Off! (Paperback)
When I bought the book, I was having trouble with collegues at work and was looking for ready made recipes to deal with them.I did not find that, instead, the author keeps bringing the light on yourself ( reader) and asks if "you" are not the problem...and not your collegues. So, she often suggests to the reader to quit their job if nothing changes, in order not to loose motivation in life through this terrible job they have. While, it is great that the author visits this point of view, and the reader should be aware of that possibility...but I paid a good 20$ to get the 101 on dealing with collegues in "any job setting" , not only when they are pissing me off, but also when dealing with difficult personnalities that can endanger your reputation. So this book has let me down . The author should write a second book and finish what she started.

Some advice is routine, but some is fascinating,
By Jonathan Groner - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stop Pissing Me Off! (Paperback)
In some ways, this is just another example of a competent but unexceptional book on how to succeed in the office. Understand your fellow employee, work hard but don't be a workaholic, know the line between private and business matters.Where the book stands out is in its clear and careful description of the prerogatives of a boss, or as Eisaguirre calls it, "The Employer's Bill of Rights." Here are a couple of sentences that you won't see in most 21st-century business books: "As long as what you're asking your employees to do isn't illegal, immoral, or unethical, they must do what you ask. Otherwise, it's insubordination." The author does not recommend authoritarianism but does make it clear that from a legal, moral, and practical point of view, the "boss" has significant prerogatives. Both bosses and non-bosses need to understand this. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

The Suze Orman of work relationships,
By Valerie Moses - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stop Pissing Me Off! (Paperback)
If Lynne Eisaguirre isn't the Suze Orman of the workplace, she's pretty darn close. Just check the table of contents -- hilarious stuff for those of us who are currently job-challenged. The writing is smart and funny, tells you things you didn't know. But maybe the best part are the stories -- nothing radical here, but I found myself turning the pages just to find out what happened next in the story of some poor Joe caught up in a bad hair day on the job. Really found this book to deliver.

Hoping it helps,
By D. Lapierre "senior seeker" - Published on Amazon.com
Books. I bought this book for my daughter-in-law, who has not reported back on it yet. However, when I read it, I thought it presented very positive ways to resolve some of the issues I have heard her mention.
