A Survival Guide to Managing Employees from Hell July 09, 2008 Handling Idiots, Whiners, Slackers, and Other Workplace Demons (Amacom, $15.00)
Every office has them: employees who don't do work on time, cause problems around the office, distract others from their work, don't submit good work, etc. Whether it’s your boss' nephew sitting at the desk next to you solely because of his blood relation, or your boss himself, everyone needs to know how to appropriately deal with trouble employees you'd rather strangle than work alongside. Luckily, the solution has arrived: A Survival Guide to Managing Employees from Hell.
In the book, Gini Graham Scott addresses many different types of office problem-makers: there are the clueless, nearly useless employees, referred to as the impossible "I's" (Incompetents, Idiots, and Imbeciles); the bull in the office china shop, who is always one coffee sip away from dropping the gloves and starting a full-out office brawl; and of course, the problem employee, who always seems to have some personal distraction inhibiting work from being completed.
No matter what type of problem employee plagues your office, A Survival Guide to Managing Employees from Hell provides hands-on advice and techniques for tolerating the situation, and even coming up with a solution. Drawing from real-life stories, Scott has created a manual for those who feel the dire office situation is unfixable.
