Synopsis

Wankernomics is the hilarious must-have handbook for anyone who has ever had to endure the buzzwords, bureaucracy and bullsh*t of the modern working world.

Written by comedians James Schloeffel and Charles Firth, this business self-help guide teaches readers how to outmanoeuvre their colleagues and climb the corporate ladder with nothing more than an obnoxious Linkedin profile, a pack of Post-it Notes and the phrase ‘circle back’.

Spread over ten informative units, Wankernomics covers essential workplace skills such as how to write a passive aggressive email, how to snow your colleagues with acronyms (HTSYCWA), and how to look like a genius in meetings when you don’t know anything at all. There’s even a section on creating a meaningless values-led, strategically-laddered, stakeholder-aligned purpose statement for your business.

Mixing observational comedy with dark satire, Wankernomics is first and foremost a relatable, laugh-out-loud, wince-inducing ‘oh-my-god-that’s-exactly-what-happens-at-my-work’ parody of the working world. Perfect for anyone who has ever been told to drill down, go forward, leverage the key learnings or optimise stakeholder alignment.

Wankernomics is a laugh-out-loud handbook and parody of the working world. It will delight and entertain anyone who works in an office.
