The Dictionary of Corporate Bullshit: An A to Z Lexicon of Empty, Enraging, and Just Plain Stupid Office Talk

Informative (and also hilarious!) book about office vocabulary. Provides definitions for words such as ‘living document’ and ‘labor arbitrage’ that are helpful in the workplace. Would highly recommend for people new to corporate life (or people who are tired of it and would like to poke a little fun at the culture!). The book was used, but honestly I cannot tell. Very impressed with the condition.

As a writer of sorts, I love tradespeak. Whether it's film production "honey wagon," or nursing "walkie talkie." All tradespeak fascinated me and either educates me on the nature of a job, or gives me new phrases.I bought this Corpo speak book after noticing a girlfriend use very specific language while reenacting the daily drama of working in a corpo. I knew there was a lot of jargon centered around Corpo, a field summed up as the creation of ever increasing amounts of wealth for people you dont know.This book is both a window into a world no one should want to inhabit and a guide to making the worst impression possible quickly.Start using the word Core Competencies and let the world know your seeing it through the lens of Profit Effeciency. Any chance you get, remind people you've sacrificed your humanity in the name of creating wealth for someone far away on a yacht.

This is a seriously great book that can be a novelty gift but also has great wording to include on performance input and other business documents. Really! Look up meeting. It describes what a meeting is and then provides the BS version. I gave this as a gift so I can't give an actual example but I'm going to order another one for myself.

Absolutely hilarious and a perfect gift for a colleague you joke around with

After reading this book, I have TRULY stopped using certain words in the office because it is THAT bad. The fact that this was written by an "insider" made it all that more juicy. "Circle back?" That phrase years later, has never been used by me again. This book is a nice lexicon of words that you hear often, but never think of their use and their REAL meaning. Until now. This book isn't made to be a bible, but is a fun read for anyone who has ever worked in the corporate world. It's MIND opening.

This is so true that it should be required reading by business colleges around the world. Could be used for bad

A great read filled with corporate humor and irony. Highly recommend. Anyone that’s worked in the corporate world for more than a minute, let alone 20 years, will certainly appreciate the unique humor and comedic style.

Expected something different

Great, read it

Interesting but not as I expected!

great

My Boss loves to throw all sorts of "Buzzwords" at us during meetings so when I got him in this year's Secret Santa this was the ideal present.

As I gave this to my son for his birthday, I have no idea what it is like, but he has commented favourably so far
