Thereâs a reason Alison Green has been called âthe Dear Abby of the work world.â Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply donât know what to say. Thankfully, Green doesâand in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. Youâll learn what to say when
⢠coworkers push their work on youâthen take credit for it
⢠you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit âreply allâ
⢠youâre being micromanagedâor not being managed at all
⢠you catch a colleague in a lie
⢠your boss seems unhappy with your work
⢠your cubemateâs loud speakerphone is making you homicidal
⢠you got drunk at the holiday party
