Book Description
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 • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Worse Angels
Author: Laird Barron
Publisher: Penguin

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Ex-mob enforcer-turned-private investigator Isaiah Coleridge pits himself against a rich and powerful foe when he digs into a possible murder and a sketchy real-estate deal worth billions. Ex-majordomo and bodyguard to an industrial tycoon-cum-U.S. senator, Badja Adeyemi is in hiding and shortly on his way to either a jail cell or a grave, depending on who finds him first. In his final days as a free man, he hires Isaiah Coleridge to tie up a loose end: the suspicious death of his nephew four years earlier. At the time police declared it an accident, and Adeyemi isn't sure it wasn't, but one final look may bring his sister peace. So it is that Coleridge and his investigative partner, Lionel Robard, find themselves in the upper reaches of New York State, in a tiny town that is home to outsized secrets and an unnerving cabal of locals who are protecting them. At the epicenter of it all is the site of a stalled supercollider project, an immense subterranean construction that may have an even deeper, more insidious purpose. . . .

Let's Pretend This Never Happened
Author: Jenny Lawson
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101573082
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

Yours Always, Ray

Pages : 90
Book Description
I pressed a kiss to the top of her head for the benefit of our audience. "Ready? "For you?" She ran her fingers along my jaw. "Always." She stood on her tippy toes and placed a soft kiss on my neck. A shiver spread through my entire body. Jesus. I took a hold of the back of her neck and turned her head up gently. I made sure the kiss was slow, tender. This was most likely the only time I’d get to do this and I was going to make it last. She melted into me with a sigh. When I pulled back, her eyes were half lidded, her breathing hard. If she looked like that after a kiss, what would she look like after… No. Bad Ray. Mary I have a problem. My best friend joined a cult and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to get a hold of her. You’d think since my brother is a partner at Daisy Security, a company that helps track people down, I should have no problem finding her. Except that Jack seems to think I’m overreacting. That leaves me no choice but to go behind his back and ask a member of their sister company for help. When Nyssa introduces me to Ray, I have to admit, I’m more than a little surprised by the feelings he brings forth with his soothing promises and calming touches. I didn’t come to Granger Springs to find love. I came here to find Tara. But maybe… maybe I can find both? Ray I’ve spent the past two years of my life working as Pup Security’s rat. I’m the guy who tracks down the leads and makes sure they’re solid before the team moves in. I’d have been perfectly happy doing the same for the rest of my life, so when they offer me a partner position, I’m floored and beyond thankful. Then, I meet Mary and promise to help her before I know what I’m getting into. I can’t help myself. All it takes is one look into those amazing eyes. The Daisy and Pup teams have a strict no secrets or lies rule and by the end of this assignment, my life as I know it will be done and it will be back in the gutters with the actual rats. So, falling for Mary? It’s a bad idea. It’s a terrible idea. But, lately, I’m the king of terrible ideas...
