Easy read, light hearted. Especially if you lack corporate experience and are new to the working world. For myself it was more reaffirming of rules that I’d developed through experience. Wish I had this when I started out - would’ve saved so much time and headache!

It was okay, but mostly it made me want to see or read one of the author's plays. Great characters and dialogue.
