Written by comedians James Schloeffel and Charles Firth, this business self-help guide teaches listeners 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, W*nkernomics 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, W*nkernomics 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.

“Funny, spookily accurate, and well worth a listen.”
If you have ever sat in a meeting and wanted to scream when someone said, "Can we circle back?", this audiobook is for you.
Why it is brilliant:
It is hilarious: This book will have you laughing all the way through. It takes a sledgehammer to the silly corporate world we all live in.
It is relatable: Whether you work in the UK health sector or a standard office, the similarities are spooky. You will definitely recognise the "wankers" described by authors James Schloeffel and Charles Firth.
Great Audio: Since it is read by the authors, the jokes land perfectly. It feels like a chat with friends who understand your pain.
Best for:
Anyone who is tired of "management speak" and needs a good laugh about the madness of the modern workplace.
Final thought:
It is accurate, it is funny, and it probably applies to most people with a job. If you need to cheer up after a long week of emails and meetings, give this a listen.
