The No Asshole Rule by Robert Sutton

Building a civilised workplace
and
Surviving one that isn't
Ajay and I ran around Orchard road to find Borders yesterday and finally settled for this book.
It was quite funny getting lost in Orchard road , and rather stressful, people there don't walk , they RUSH.
The Book is about surviving the office, it's politics , and branded assholes, which according to the book cover a wide range of people , which include bosses colleagues , clients and sometimes even oneself.
It's helpful with a humorous unconventional twist to the self help-like genre, hope she likes it.
The Literature workshop was not very helpful nor insightful , and after listening to the associate professor speak, i think we should all recommend Mrs Ashari to go do her PHD too...
I saw this on some one's nick, it sounded some what like this :
I don't care what you think of me,
and i won't change so that i will suit you,
because either way you will believe what you want to believe
and Dalilah's : you have no right to make me feel bad
HA HA , sorry Dalilah for copying without your permission, but i find these statements very powerful, try screaming them aloud and saying them at the mirror , especially Dalilah's.
OK back to tuition work..how delightful!
