About the Book
Everyone wants to laugh about his job. No one has the time to delve into the cause and effect of work because... "it's just a job." So a good laugh sidesteps it all.
A satire on the culture of the common worker, IDW takes a stab at working relationships and situations and how they can impact the quality of one's working life. Is anyone ever properly prepared and/ or educated to deal with the daily challenges of being at work? Do you find you only have one response - a knee jerk reaction that acts like a boomerang? The every day grind parallels any dysfunctional relationship where one person sets all the rules and you only get to follow them.
Most business books are geared toward management and career climbing. Well, there is no management and no career climbing without the working class. There are more workers sitting back to watch the comings and goings than those who make the decisions. The working class has its own problems dealing with one another, much like the monkeys at the bottom of the tree looking up at the rest of the monkeys climbing to the top. The group at the bottom looking up that tree says it all.
IDW is a quick read that can be approached a number of ways - by individual chapter, haiku, bullet points, or your own activity. Its chameleon-like quality is its mystique and is whatever you want it to be - edgy, coping, insightful, ridiculous. So during a break, on a plane, in the bathroom, waiting in line, you can keep yourself company. IDW is your secret pal.
