Workplace thoughts, professionally rephrased

Walter Goodwin’s humor book is organized around a familiar office tension: what someone wants to say versus a safer, professional response. Its examples cover workplace irritations such as difficult coworkers and meetings the description characterizes as pointless. The page-by-page format is designed for browsing in any order, so the contrast between blunt thought and polished wording is the central recurring device. The publisher notes that the book contains light profanity, a consideration for gifting or sharing it in mixed company.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults who enjoy workplace and business-themed humor
  • Shoppers seeking an office gag gift or white elephant exchange item
  • People looking for a browsable humor book to give a coworker, friend, or family member
