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]

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
