Who Moved My Blackberry?

by Lucy Kellaway

Who Moved My Blackberry? Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Full of ambition and delusions of grandeur, Martin Lukes is a man who is good at taking credit where it isn't due, a man who works hard at personal growth but consistently lets down everyone around him, a man who communicates with his sons by email and fails to notice how smart his wife Jenny really is, a man--in short--who loves jargon but totally lacks understanding. This novel follows a year in his life, via email exchanges. The year starts out with Martin hiring Pandora, an executive coach who spews comic but earnest aphorisms at the already self-aggrandizing Martin.& nbsp; He proceeds to accidentally send a sexist email to his new female boss, his wife is hired into a job in his company that threatens to eclipse his, he has an affair with his sexy, spacey secretary, and his juvenile delinquent son gets hold of his blackberry and forwards his secretary??'s racy emails to his wife.& nbsp; Through all this and more, Martin remains cheerfully oblivious to his faults.& nbsp;

Synopsis:

Martin Lukes is a superstar at the office and at home — just ask him. Blessed with an ego the size of Mount Everest and virtually no sense of self, he blusters through life with cheerful obliviousness. Who Moved My BlackBerry is the uproarious e-epistolary story of one spectacularly bad year in his life, during which Martin hires an executive coach to help him achieve "22.5 percent better than my bestest," only to inadvertently insult his new boss, watch his wife get a job that threatens to eclipse his own, and allow his BlackBerry — complete with racy e-mails to his secretary/lover — to fall into the hands of his juvenile delinquent son. This novel is set in an office so dysfunctional, it's bound to strike a chord with any nine-to-fiver. Comic schadenfreude at its best!

Synopsis:

The television show "The Office" meets "Bridget Jones" in a novel set in an office so dysfunctional, it's bound to strike a chord with any nine-to-fiver.
