It’s hilarious and helpful with so many on-point insights that you’ll wonder if she’s been reading your Slack messages (she hasn’t)

• Fearless and funny! If you feel like work is getting or letting you down Cate is here to give you a hug and offer you practical advice. All of our careers are now full of change and uncertainty and Cate’s book will help you to take control and look after rather than lose your mind!

  Sarah Ellis, author of the Sunday Times bestselling book The Squiggly Career

• This is a useful, smart, thoughtful and beautifully written exploration of a subject that affects us all, but we know so little about… I do not use this word lightly but Cate’s brilliant book is GENUINELY EMPOWERING!

  Anne T. Donahue, author of Nobody Cares

• I can’t think of a better time than the darkness of a covid winter to sit down with this wonderful book and re-assess your relationship to work. Cate Sevilla has a wisdom about the working world that is rare in its depth and sensitivity. She can teach you how to fix a bad work situation–or to spot when it’s time to walk away. Her book will teach you how to survive at work without sacrificing your soul – from dealing with bad communication, awful managers, and impending burnout, to setting boundaries and getting organised. Everyone who works has to read this book

  Hannah Jewell, Washington Post

• It’s funny and smart and incisive and smashes every narrative we’re fed as workers (and women). And it’s way beyond being an essential book on work culture; it’s an essential feminist text. The women who read this – employees, managers, wherever they are in the structure – will be changed by it. It’s nothing short of radical
