Product Description
Every day, problem bosses rob employees of job satisfaction, motivation, career advancement?and, at their most dastardly?physical and emotional health. But it doesn?t have to be that way. This book shows employees how to improve their situation, save their sanity, and, when necessary, fight back. They also learn how to change undesirable situations and when the only option is to move on. This informative guide offers solutions to every type of Monster Boss: the blood-sucking boss who extracts as much work as possible from his employees with no regard to their limit; the split-personality boss who constantly changes priorities or rethinks decisions that have already been made; the evasive boss who leaves her employees without goals, guidance, or leadership, but magically resurfaces when it?s time to accept praise for their work, and many others. This book will also include updates on ?bad boss? behavior that has become recently topical?including executive crime, verbal abuse, and harassment.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful."Monster Boss" Great Advice for Anyone Who Works
By Katherine Probst
"Monster Boss" not only tells how to effectively deal with a variety of egomaniacal, mean, lackluster, greedy, cowardly, seductive bosses but can serve as a guide for dealing with all sorts of difficult and "monstrous" people: spouses, teachers, neighbors, etc. King's categorizing of difficult bosses and her quick and inciteful ways to deal with them can cut through years of psychoanalysis and will enable those who feel like victims to take charge of their lives with strength and dignity. Bravo!

By Marne
I have a boss who has worked for only one employer and has little experience outside of my employer.
This book was a great read. I would also recommend "Mobbing: Emotional Abuse in the American Workplace" and "21 Dirty Tricks at Work: How to Win at Office Politics".
