Crappy to Happy: Strategies to Help You Kick Butt at Work
summary
Four workplace fixes with concrete steps and numbers: manage a bad boss by documenting episodes as “when you do X I feel Y which causes Z,” book a coffee outside work, set a plan and follow up monthly; stop overwork — productivity drops after ~39 hours, Norway averages ~30, and use the 90 days 90 minutes rule (first 90 minutes on your top priority); fight unfairness by keeping records and calling privately and send post-meeting emails to claim idea ownership; treat change as a curve (shock→denial→frustration→experiment→integrate) and protect your mornings.
