Readable and entertaining but nothing else. The whole Alpha business ruined what could otherwise have been an insightful and penetrating satire; rather the book revelled in average farce.

I didn't really know what to expect as a friend lent me this book, but I enjoyed it!

Hilarious, far-fetched... But is it???? A scary- funny story about the inner workings of a fictional company called Zephyr.... Anyone who deals with cubicles, senior management, and any corporate politics will love this!

funny at times, makes you think about the defects at your own work, but nothing too in depth, more just poking satirical fun at the everyday work place.

Funny and clever satire of corporate culture. Sad to say how much of it actually applies to my job at a public library. The cube-dwellers will all remind you of someone you work with. Relatively light, so I could read it on my lunch break and not have to think too much.
