Book Reviews of Fire Your Boss
Book Review: It really works
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't even read the entire book, but I can attest to the effectiveness of the chapters I did read--and I plan to read the rest and put it into action as well. I read the chapter about pleasing your boss, basically finding out what your boss wants, and doing that, not what your job description says you should do. My boss likes to micromanage (he's admitted as much) so I started seeing him constantly and going over all the details of my work. Our relationship improved immensely and I started really enjoying working with him, not to mention learning a lot from him. I read the chapter about keeping your resume out there and checking out other places to work even if you really don't plan to leave. The result was that I went to an interview at another business, basically just to practice interviewing (I almost didn't go to the interview and what tipped the balance toward going was that I remembered the advice from this chapter of the book). Naturally, since there was no pressure, I was completely relaxed and really enjoyed the interview. Result: a great job offer, which I initially was going to take, till I told my boss, and he matched it and then some, and pretty much gave me carte blanche to come and go as I please in my present job. With results like these, you can bet that I can't wait to read the rest of the book! Not only am I enjoying my job more than ever, I also respect and like my boss more, I'm getting paid more, and I have more freedom in my work. I highly recommend Fire Your Boss--it has obviously worked for me.
