No more pointless meetings, fighting traffic toget in at 9:00, or begging for permission to watch your kid play soccer.No more cramming errands into the weekend or waiting untilretirement to take up your hobbies again. As long as the work getsdone, you have complete control over your life.It sounds like a fantasy, but Cali Ressler and Jody Thompsonhave already made it a reality at Best Buy, a Fortune 100 companythat has embraced the Results-Only Work Environment. Theauthors have proven that ROWE not only makes employees happier,but also delivers better results. Their program has been sosuccessful that it made the cover of BusinessWeek.This book explores why most workplaces are so dysfunctionaland offers a dramatic new way to stop the toxic behaviors and beliefs("sludge") that keep us from reaching our potential. It also showsreaders how to start their own Results-Only Work Environment,even on a small scale, and help spread the revolution.Filled with passion and common sense, Why Work Sucks andHow to Fix It will change the way you think about your job, yourcompany, and your quality of life.
