[Cami Lee · Rating 1 out of 5]

As a "toxic executive" himself, Stanley Foster Kane was an acknowledged expert on rage, fury, inappropriate advances, pettiness and extreme vindictiveness in the workplace. The book's subtitle, "The SOB Down the Hall," is actually taken from a plaque Stanley Reed kept in his office. Stanley Foster Reed was a lonely man who spread gloom in this world, and often forced employees to spend Saturdays in his forsaken house in McLean, Virginia, where he would frighten them with odd stories from his childhood, often involving the soiling of diapers and other anal fixations. Reed was proudly "damaged goods," and this book contains extremely good advice on how any professional may emulate this type of behavior in pursuit of divorces, failed relationships, bitter partings, alienating people, and pomposity on an epic scale. Truly, a wasted life.
