Philip Coggan is the former writer of the Bartleby and Buttonwood columns for the Economist. He previously worked for the Financial Times for twenty years. His other books include The Money Machine, Guide to Hedge Funds from Economist Books, and More. More was a Financial Times Book of the Summer.
"In this chipper send-up, Coggan, who wrote the Economist's
Bartleby column on work and management until 2021, provides an
irreverent accounting of how overlong meetings, noisy office plans,
incompetent managers, and other exasperating eccentricities of the
modern workplace burden employees. A pleasantly peppy lampooning of
the plight of the modern professional."--Publishers Weekly
