[.ca] The Rules of Work: A definitive code for personal success (ISBN 0273662716)

Some good points, but forgets that we are human beings:
This book is very easy to read, and is split up into nice little bite-size chunks with tips on how to act in a workplace and increase your chances of going up the ladder. It promotes things like don't gossip no matter what, walk the walk and talk the talk, etc. and makes you aware of things that you should look out for in your colleagues. However, if you have some level of human compassion and if you really do carry out every single rule in the book, you may end up being pretty disgusted at yourself, going out at all human expense just to climb up the corporate ladder. The tone the author uses makes the 'rulebook' appear as some kind of cult, and 'no one must know you read this rule book, otherwise you are not a rule player'. Sometimes I found it a bit offensive and manipulative, and makes me wonder whether the author has any moral values or human emotions.
