    About this audiobook

    The ideal graduation gift for anyone about to enter the workforce, a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice from the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York's work-advice columnist.

    There's a reason Alison Green has been called "the Dear Abby of the work world." Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don't know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career.

    You'll learn what to say when:

    • Coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it
    • You accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit "reply all"
    • You're being micromanaged—or not being managed at all
    • You catch a colleague in a lie
    • Your boss seems unhappy with your work
    • Your cubemate's loud speakerphone is making you homicidal
    • You got drunk at the holiday party
