How to Be a Bad Boss

How to Be a Bad Boss is an illustrated office satire for anyone who has watched a simple task become a meeting, a report, and another meeting about the report.

Follow clear steps to become a bad boss on purpose. Turn a new stapler into a difficult decision. Give instructions after the work is finished. Take credit for a project you joined just in time for the photograph. Keep a promotion close enough to discuss and far enough away to avoid paying for it.

Across 20 chapters, you will practice making ordinary work unnecessarily difficult. Each chapter has an illustration, instructions, and a check on your progress. There is even a final quiz. A low score suggests you may still be useful.

If you want to be the boss everyone admires, you have the wrong book. Please arrange a meeting to discuss how this happened.
