The art of asking your boss for a raise
Perec, Georges, 1936-19822025
Book
A long-suffering employee in a big corporation has summoned up the courage to ask for a raise. But as he runs through the looming encounter in his mind, his neuroses come to the surface: What is the best day to see the boss? What if he doesn't offer you a seat when you go into his office? 'The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise' is a hilarious account of an employee losing his identity - and possibly his sanity - as he tries to put on the most acceptable face for the corporate world,with its rigid hierarchies and hostility to new ideas. If he follows a certain course of action, so this logic goes, he will succeed, but, in accepting these conditions, are his attempts to challenge his world of work doomed from the outset?
