Work Smart: The 250 Smart Moves Your Boss Already Knows

The employee handbook they plunk down on your desk when you start a job tells you more than you ever wanted to know about the dental plan, the 401(k), and the heroic struggles of the company's founder.  But as far as how to get ahead on the job, it's your call.
