  • Blunt and to the Point

    Mr. Winget gets it across that employment is a privilege and putting in a fair day's work for the wage is the way of the world, as in ask not what the boss can do for you but what you can do for the boss. I bought this book for my young adult son. I couldn't get some ethic issues across to him so maybe a "man" could. As it turns out, son can use some of this information to inspire his co-workers as he recently got promoted. For those young folks that feel they are entitled to something, this book might come across as a rude awakening. My son felt insulted at first when I gave it to him. However, the author also gives lots of advice on how to improve performance and becoming an asset to an employer.

  • With a writing style best described as full-throttle rant, the host of the A&E reality show Big Spender reveals the naked truth about careers, the employer/employee relationship, management skills, productivity and pay. Declaring at the outset that "there will be parts of this book you won't like," while daring readers to continue, Winget (Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life) sets a high threshold for delivering a likable, useful book that will educate and promote behavioral changes. Yet he delivers. His brutal frankness about what's wrong with how businesses big and small operate offers a refreshing contrast to other career counseling and management books even the gray area of ethics is delivered in black and white. In a section titled "What Happened to You?" he reminds readers of what it means to accept a job: "No work no pay. No work no job." Companies, as he repeatedly stresses, exist to make a profit, not to make their employees happy or feel fulfilled. Winget's advice is solid: delivering results is the most fulfilling career move one can make. (Jan.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
