Get the F**k to Work: the Severe Habits of Highly Ineffective People Saul Tanpepper

Publisher Marketing: Now fully illustrated and updated with new text, including a Miley Cyrus/twerking reference! "Get the F**k to Work" is for every poor downtrodden working stiff who ever suffered the oppression of an overbearing boss or bore the thankless yoke of management. It is for the hapless, the helpless, and the hopeless. * * * * * * * * Being a manager requires diplomacy and patience. But sometimes placating words and promises of promotions simply cannot convey the right message. How does one convince an intractable worker to resume their duties? Make a few threats, of course! Drop a few f-bombs! "Get the F**k to Work" is a profane, timely, and radically honest reflection of the innermost turmoil of those of us who have ever reached the end of our rope in a work setting. Satirizes both the all-too common (and modern) distractions of employees and the secret wishes of their supervisors to give voice to the words they're really thinking. What Adam Mansbach's "Go the F**k to Sleep" did for parents of headstrong children, Saul Tanpepper's "Get the F**k to Work" does for managers of intractable employees. This hilarious, highly profane romp expresses exactly what we all, at one time or another, wish we could truly say. But will this book open up a conversation about good personnel management and improve the performance of lackluster underlings? Don't count on it. Does it give us permission to acknowledge our workaday frustrations and to laugh at their absurdity? Oh, hell yes! If you've ever wanted to stick a middle class middle finger up in the air at the folks who give us so much grief at work. Just one word of caution: make sure Human Resources doesn't get a hold of this. They might actually get a few ideas... * * * * * * * * Words: 576 * * * * * * * * Warning: Contains a crap-load of profanity. Like, a shi- A real lot. Definitely not appropriate for children. Contributor Bio:  Tanpepper, Saul Saul writes in several speculative fiction genres, including horror, cyberpunk, biopunk, and straight science fiction. A former Army medic and trauma specialist, he earned a PhD in molecular biology and genetics; his works are heavily informed by these past experiences. Saul spent his formative years in a century-old house overlooking the Erie Canal in Upstate New York. He shared an attic room with all manner of creatures, not all, he is convinced, flesh and blood. After several years spent overseas and working his way to executive positions in biotech, he returned to his true passion of storytelling. He now writes full time from his home in the San Francisco Bay Area. He continues to be haunted by a variety of creatures, including a wife, kids, three dogs, three cats, twenty chickens, a wayward rooster, and one very grumpy possum. They are all flesh and blood. Except for the possum, which he's sure is the reincarnated spirit of Jack Torrance.
