The Micromanager’s Handbook: How To Lose Friends and Infuriate People at Work

The Micromanager’s Handbook is the ultimate parody management guide that boldly says what every bad boss is already thinking. Tired of leadership books that harp on about trust, empathy and “work–life balance”? This book gleefully throws all that feel-good advice out the window.

Part satire, part workplace therapy, and 100% relatable, this hilarious handbook is perfect for anyone who has ever endured a micromanaging boss. Or secretly wondered how to become one.

Inside you’ll learn:

• The fine art of omnipresent oversight
• How to weaponise meetings to crush morale
• “Constructive” feedback techniques that leave no confidence unshattered
• Professional strategies for blocking staff advancement
• Expert-level blame deflection
• And so much more absurd, painfully accurate advice

Whether you’re gifting it as a joke, using it as office humour, or reading it to process your daily workplace trauma, this book hits the mark.

Perfect for:

• Managers who prefer fear over respect
• Office workers in need of a cathartic laugh
• Secret Santa and white elephant swaps
• That boss everyone complains about (give it to them… if you dare)

A brilliantly funny gag gift and a spot-on parody, The Micromanager’s Handbook is guaranteed to get a laugh, whether out loud or silently through gritted teeth.
