Pay raises and promotions are up to your boss, but using this book couldn’t hurt.

"James Thompson’s The Cubicle Survival Guide offers the rare, and definitely appreciated, combination of laugh-out-loud humor and sound advice for surviving the jungle that is Corporate America. On some days, there’s nothing more motivating to fresh air-starved cube dwellers than a book that will simply crack them up. This is that book.” — Alexandra Levit, Author, They Don’t Teach Corporate in College "If you must work (and I don't recommend it), The Cubicle Survival Guide provides a wonderful way to slack off and stay entertained. You can easily kill two weeks with this book." — Josh Aiello, Author, 60 People to Avoid at the Water Cooler “Thompson provides a humorous yet thought-provoking look at what employees in today's large organizations must deal with besides their jobs.” — Malcolm O.

Book excerpt: "By how I behave, you would think I care more about budget and schedules than people. That's not me." Barbara, project leader "It's not enough to be a solid contributor eight hours a day; work has to invade your weekends and be all encompassing." Stephanie, catalog buyer If you want to boil a frog (not that you would!), start with tepid water, where the frog will swim happily. By increasing the temperature one degree at a time, the frog will slowly adjust, but never recognize the increasing danger. Sadly, the frog will boil to death. This engaging -- and almost frightening -- analogy is Sharon Hoyle Weber's premise for Hot in the Pot. If you work in a hard-driving workplace, do you seem to check your soul at the door? Does oppressive pressure cloud your cubicle? Is everyone way too serious? Are you slowly boiling? If so, Hot in the Pot will awaken both your knowledge and senses to how the real you is boiling one degree at a time in the corporate world. Using the real-life challenges faced by a variety of corporate workers, Weber has synthesized "Twelve Principles" to help you recognize and escape the slow boil. Weber's energetic and engaging style helps you take your temperature and learn how to recover your real self at work. Use Weber's conscious balancing act to maintain your authentic, fun, and vibrant self by tossing in a few ice cubes to keep you cool!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Erin Brockovich to Enron, whistleblowers who “challenge abuses of power that betray the public trust” have proven to be an unfortunate necessity in modern business culture. Their efforts to report crimes, fraud, and dangers to public health and safety have saved millions of lives and billions of dollars of shareholder value – and had we heeded the warnings of whistleblowers, perhaps disasters such as the Bernie Madoff scandal and the Lehman Brothers meltdown could have been averted. Recent federal legislation in finance and health reform have cemented legal protections and mechanisms for whistleblowing. This book provides a thorough guide and history to the whistleblower's legal rights. The ultimate survival guide, it provides advice on getting help and finding allies, warns that retaliation is often the reward for "committing the truth" and shows how to weather the storm. With extensive legal texts, sample letters, resources, and information on upcoming whistleblower reforms, this is the ultimate source on the subject.

Book excerpt: As humans we develop a unique personality from our early childhood to adulthood that defines our character. This personality is defined by behaviors and patterns, as well as biological and environmental factors, to name a few. We tend to either alter or transform into different personas that we feel matches our physical setting, the different people (i.e. friends, family) we associate with or even our title and position at a company. After sitting in what I call my Cubicle Coffin, I observed and analyzed many personalities /personas people tend to transform into and have assigned a character that captures their characteristics. In doing so I was able to not only identify them but also lessen their impact. After reading this survival guide you will not only be able to spot who is who but also be able to acquire the same tools needed to survive. You may even realize you are one of the characters yourself. Which character are you?

Book excerpt: "'The Cubicle' is about the aspiration of a writer, to write about life (or the lack of it) in the IT industry. Weighing the options, he decides to join an IT company to write about it. With fake experience, he manages to do so. Within months at work, he gets a long term onsite opportunity, which he desperately avoids strategically. He even gets politically entangled, not in the office politics - which is obvious anyways - but in Indian politics. He excels in his career and even completes the book, until he falls in a dilemma over a career making decision. Someone with no prior IT experience survives and excels in a top IT company? I must be kidding. Or this has to be the best super hero story? Or the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'fiction' written ever? Or a book full of lies starting from this synopsis? Or this synopsis is a typo error, really big time? It isn't that tough, if you know the shortcuts inside 'the cubicle'. The Cubicle is a fictional non-fictional satire. The fictional elements are added to the book to make you believe the 'unbelievable(s)'; with a very thin line of story woven around. Sarcasm and Humour are intended - Laughter will be asking for too much, but smile(s), and tips and tricks to make your career better than what it is now, guaranteed. NOT an autobiography. "
