THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
A paradigm-shifting guide to getting ahead at work - at pace, moving forward

THE HILARIOUS, MUST-HAVE HANDBOOK FOR ANYONE WHO HAS HAD TO ENDURE THE BULLSH*T OF THE MODERN WORKING WORLD.
Picture the scene. You're sitting in a meeting at work. Your colleagues are deep in serious discussion. Terry says he wants an end-to-end, digital-first solution by COB Friday. Fiona says she'll have to take that offline and circle back later. And then quite suddenly, you catch yourself thinking, 'hang on... what the f*ck are they talking about?' Like, seriously, what do those words even mean?
W*nkernomics is for anyone who has ever been told to reach out, touch base, drill down, or optimise their ducks on the same songsheet. Learn how to:
Navigate endless meetings
Master passive aggressive emails
Outmanoeuvre your colleagues with nothing more than an obnoxious LinkedIn profile, a pack of Post-it Notes and the phrase 'circle back'.
W*nkernomics will help you navigate workplace hell like a boss.
Ideal for readers who:
- Keep close laugh at satire aimed at corporate jargon and fake productivity.
- Meet meetings, motivational nonsense and workplace performance rituals.
- Value comedy that works because the target feels painfully familiar.
- Come for sharp humour with a very modern professional edge.
