It presents survival techniques to get you through coffee breaks, lunches, elevator rides, conventions, mergers, hostile takeovers, and other acts of controlled violence. It offers advice to equip you for the corporate way of life and outfit you for the job from looking your best, to what you need to keep in your desk, to sleeping around the office.
