Description

From the agony of the away day via Hot Desking, office politics, romances and parties to the sheer terror of work reunions or 'teleconferencing', journalist and office escapee Malcolm Burgess exploits the deep vein of cynicism and rebelliousness that runs through every office.


The book sprang from the author's weekly column in London's Metro newspaper and also includes a unique 'office buzzwords' section drawn from his Times column.


Better than any stress-ball or executive toy, I Hate the Office is the essential weapon in the war against the angst of modern office life.
