In the corporate environment where conspiracy rules, this guide exposes the power games played in the workplace and reveals strategies for not only surviving office politics but thriving.

With the rat as a guide, lessons inspire office workers to maneuver the proverbial workplace sewer. Witty, no-holds-barred writing makes this book entertaining and educational for employers and employees alike.

From the Inside Flap
Tired of reading about the habits of highly effective managers? Given up trying to accomplish anything in one minute? Don't care who moved your cheese? Here's the antidote to management books. Learn the real way to make friends, influence people and achieve you career goals: The Way Of The Rat.
With caustic wit, black humour and uncanny insight, the author takes you down into the sewer to explore the dark and devious rituals of business today. He shines a light into corners of the office that most companies would prefer to ignore - places where jealousy, cruelty, anger, hate and revenge lurk. How can you subvert your boss? Exploit your colleagues' weaknesses? Come out on top? It's easier than you think. Be ruthless; be a rat.
Don't be fooled by talk of empowerment, teamwork or corporate values. Office politics isn't like that. It's about power: how you can get it and how you use it. The Way Of The Rat tackles the subject with refreshing honesty, and no small dose of cynicism. Read it - but don't leave it lying on your desk.
