Paperback. YOUR BOSS ISN'T EVIL. IT'S THE SYSTEM. AND THE SYSTEM HAS A MANUAL. In 1944, the OSS (the precursor to the CIA) published a classified document titled the Simple Sabotage Field Manual[cite: 8894]. It wasn't meant for soldiers[cite: 8895]. It taught ordinary office workers how to destroy organizations from the inside using the tools they already had: meaningless meetings, CCing everyone, insisting on strict channels, and endless "let's circle back" postponements[cite: 8896, 8897, 8898, 8899, 8900, 8901]. Read that again[cite: 8902]. Sounds like your last Monday morning, doesn't it? [cite: 8902] Modern bosses use these exact same tactics--not to win a war, but to control their territory, monopolize the credit, and keep you exactly where you are[cite: 8904, 8906]. The hierarchy, the ambiguity, the fake "growth opportunities"--these are all weapons of corporate sabotage[cite: 8905]. How to Defend Yourself From Your Boss is your declassified survival guide for the modern corporate battlefield[cite: 8816, 8817]. It exposes 48 specific maneuvers used by management and gives you the exact tools to counter them[cite: 8907, 8910]. Inside this field manual, you will discover: 48 Tactics Unmasked: From fake "growth opportunities" to stolen credit and "constructive" feedback that builds nothing[cite: 8860, 8868].Copy-and-Paste Templates: Exact email scripts and responses you can use this Monday morning to protect your work and establish boundaries.The 3-Move Defense: Tactical, operational, and strategic countermeasures to neutralize power plays without declaring war[cite: 8909, 8910].The Mirror: A brutal self-assessment to ensure you aren't using these same toxic tactics on your own team[cite: 8913, 8914].You don't need to quit your job. You don't need to shout. You just need to learn the rules of engagement. The cage has no bars. It's time to find the exit. [cite: 11601, 13204] This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
