About this book

Revised Edition! A Young Business Professional's Guide to Office Communication and Workplace Culture

Flip-Flops and Microwaved Fish offers very practical and hysterically funny advice on effective office communication. It has become the go-to guide for people either starting out in a career, being promoted to manager, or working for an American company for the first time.

The book provides useful career advice and workplace communication skills that can be immediately implemented to help anyone navigate through and succeed in their company culture.

In a light-hearted and conversational way, and using tons of examples, Peter Yawitz, a 30-year veteran in global communications consulting, walks readers through not only formal and written rules of office communication but also unwritten business norms. As "Someone Else's Dad, " he counsels a new generation of workers without the nagging and judgment they might receive from their own parents. His candid and action-oriented advice will help readers get better at mastering small talk, writing persuasive emails, making sense of the hybrid workplace, dealing with sneaky coworkers, managing distracted bosses, and asking for a raise.

Readers will find an advocate in Yawitz, someone who can help them succeed both professionally and socially at work. They'll laugh out loud while they develop the insights needed to advance in their careers.
