Book Description

An Owl Book January 1, 1999
The last career book anyone will ever need! At last, after all those books on clawing your way to the top, here's the real truth about the good and bad moves made in the workplace that determine ultimate success or failure.

You ask interviewees penetrating philosophical questions. +10
"If you could be a tree, what kind of tree would you be?" -10
"Do you think I'm cute?" -50
You nickname your office. +5
"The Cave." -10
"The Cool-bicle." -45
You volunteer to organize the softball team and company outings. +5
You call yourself the company "funmeister." -20
It's much easier than your actual job.-60

From your trumped-up résumé to the disastrous company picnic, and covering every aspect of working life including meetings, office antics, fun with machines, and the right and wrong way to ask for a raise, Greg Gutfeld focuses his trademark point system on the place where we all spend the biggest part of our lives.


Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gutfeld is an executive writer for Men's Health, where his articles appear regularly, and he has also contributed to such magazines as Prevention and Cosmopolitan. Like his earlier book The Scorecard: The Official Point System for Keeping Score in the Relationship Game (1997), this latest tallysheet seems to have been cloned from the seed of an idea for an amusing article for one of those publications. With a mix of humor, sometimes practical advice, and outrageous hyperbole, Gutfeld turns office politics into a game in which every move either earns or loses points. He covers such sports as resumewriting, interviewing, meetings, presentations, office romance, office technology, and networking. David Rouse

5.0 out of 5 stars Gutfeld pierces the heart of corporate stupidity., January 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Scorecard at Work: The Official Point System for Keeping Score on the Job (An Owl Book) (Paperback)
The underlying stupidity of corporate America has not been satirized so successfully since the days when Lee Iacocca roamed the business landscape like a giant influential thing. Gutfeld is peerless, except for his sock puppet, when it comes to this sort of thing. Clearly, Gutfeld's experience as the head of several Fortune 500 companies (and his current work as the innovative head of netcomnetnet.com)has offered him the unique opportunity to befriend the lazy oaf known as the American worker. In fact, he was probably involved in downsizing your mother out of her job. Whatever you do, read this book! You'll never look at your stupid job in the same way again! After reading this book your on-the-job outlook will dramtically improve--you'll be walking on air, you'll shake hands more efficiently, become more proficient at sneaking peaks down the blouses of coworkers and be nominated as floor leader for mandatory fire drills! Having achieved such dizzying success, you'll find yourself on the autobahn to the corporate boardroom. Life as you know it--a predictable, unexciting series of breaths--will never be the same. For the love of God, buy this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Adequate bathroom material, June 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Scorecard at Work: The Official Point System for Keeping Score on the Job (An Owl Book) (Paperback)
He had to start somewhere. I became aware of Greg Gutfeld by watching Red Eye. While traces of his signature humor are plentiful, this is a flip through book and nothing more. If you're looking for Greg as you know him, get "From the Land of Pork Scratchings," which ends with his job offer for Red Eye.
