Did you know that asking for a raise can set you on the road to being fired? Or that your career may be in jeopardy when you get a new boss? How should you handle the steady barrage of interruptions from your subordinates? Whether the problem is managing creativity or managing stress, finding a new job or firing an unproductive employee, dealing with sexism, careerism, alcoholism, or absenteeism, Fortune editor Walter Kiechel puts things in their proper perspective in Office Hours. He serves up not just his own ideas, but the views of some of the most reputable experts on management, together with the firsthand experience of actual veterans of the corporate wars. - Back cover.
