        "DEATH!"


        "Here's the test results for the program. Just a minor aesthetic thing, a typo in a dialogue ..."
        "DEATH TO THE CODER!"


        "Sorry I'm a bit late. It's been snowing and..."
        "DEATH! DEATH TO ALL LATECOMERS!"


        "... and so you see, I have managed to make immense savings by killing all the 127,000 staff. This feeds directly into a 17% increase in the share value for you shareholders."

          Every gig I have been at for years, at some point in the first week I have done a particular search and printed something out:

          1. Google
          2. Image search for 'management 101'
          3. Take the first hit
          4. Click on 'See full size image'
          5. Print
          6. Stick on wall.

          With a bit of on-line rummaging, you can find a bigger version.


          I have left a trail of these on notice boards at gigs all over England and Wales.



          It isn't working, BTW.

            As I'm in the process of trying to get into contracting I bought (and read) this book.

            It's one of those books that skims over most of the key topics. Therefore it's good for first timers as it gives you an idea of topics you need to find out more about.

            I would say if you're an established contractor it probably isn't worth the purchase.

            Personally I found PCG's "Guide to Freelancing" a much more useful publication. Similar publications by SJD & Nixon Williams also provide a decent overview of contracting, albeit at a very high level.

                Do you think his final bit of penmanship will be "How to make a fortune flogging pointless books"?

                That one may actually be worth reading.....

                  I'm guessing here... but I think the general consensus is to avoid buying the book then.
                  If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.
