From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York's work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations--featuring all-new advice

There's a reason Alison Green has been called "the Dear Abby of the work world." Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don't know what to say. Thankfully, Green does--and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You'll learn what to say when

- coworkers push their work on you--then take credit for it
- you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit "reply all"
- you're being micromanaged--or not being managed at all
- you catch a colleague in a lie
- your boss seems unhappy with your work
- your cubemate's loud speakerphone is making you homicidal
- you got drunk at the holiday party

Praise for Ask a Manager

"The author's friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers' lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience."--Library Journal (starred review)

"Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way."--Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Comfortable fit, but the pattern looks a bit dated
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dark Green Stripe Knit
I grabbed this in an XXL looking for a comfortable, breezy shirt for the summer. The actual fit and feel of the shirt are really nice. It's a true relaxed fit that doesn't pull tight across the chest or stomach, and the knit material is surprisingly soft and breathable, kind of like a lightweight summer sweater. It definitely doesn't feel like stiff, cheap cotton. My main issue is just the design itself. I ordered the dark green stripe, and in person, the pattern just looks a bit dated, almost like a retro bowling shirt or old upholstery rather than a modern vacation button-down. I'm not the biggest fan of how the stripes look on me, so it has basically become a shirt I just wear lounging around the house instead of actually wearing it out anywhere nice.

Airy, 100 % cotton, crochet, button-down shirt
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dark Blue Stripe Knit, Size: XX-Large, Color: Dark Blue Stripe Knit
This feels super soft and airy. Even though it’s made of 100% cotton, it doesn’t feel heavy at all. I love the contrast between the dark blue and white. The fit is slightly boxy, and it doesn’t wrinkle whatsoever. It’s absolutely worth the price. I can’t get over how good-quality, versatile, lightweight, and soft this shirt is. I highly recommend it as a fun layering piece or a stand‑out top.

The Materials Are Very Soft And Durable
Size: Large, Color: Dark Blue Stripe Knit
It is ideal for warm weather or casual nights out because of its relaxed fit, which is comfortable without appearing overly baggy, and the soft, light knit material. The button-down style preserves the relaxed vacation vibe while giving it a polished, clean appearance. It looks great with both jeans and shorts. The fabric's ability to breathe throughout the day was one of my favorite things. The short sleeves make it perfect for everyday casual wear, cookouts, and vacations. It is comfortable enough to wear for hours without feeling heavy or stiff. For the price range, the buttons and stitching appear to be well-made as well. Without exerting too much effort, the shirt's fashionable appearance draws praise. The fit can run a little larger depending on your typical size choice, which is the only reason I am not giving it a perfect five stars. Sizing down can be beneficial if you prefer a more fitted appearance. Apart from that, it is a fantastic, adaptable shirt that blends ease of care, comfort, and style. A great complement to a casual summer outfit, without a doubt.
