From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York's work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations-featuring all-new advice!
There's a reason Alison Green has been called "the Dear Abby of the work world." Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don't know what to say. Thankfully, Green does-and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career.
You'll learn what to say when:
• Coworkers push their work on you-then take credit for it
• You accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit "reply all"
• You're being micromanaged-or not being managed at all
• You catch a colleague in a lie
• Your boss seems unhappy with your work
• Your cubemate's loud speakerphone is making you homicidal
