Really Entertaining

Stanley Bing tells some great stories. This audio CD was great listen on the commutte to/from the office ... and it gave a nice way of viewing what goes on in ones office.

Bing is the thinking man's Dilbert

This book was hysterical. Anyone who has ever worked in an office or a giant corporation will identify with the situations and the characters he so vividly brings to life. Plus, he has the best made up last names I've ever come across, but the funny thing is you know exactly who he's talking about. I may not fly with the chairman on the corporate jet, but I relate to most everything he writes about, and I laughed the entire time reading. Bing is the thinking man's Dilbert.

There Is Nobody Like Bing

For anyone who has ever worked for a living; for anyone who has ever had a boss or been a boss; THE BIG BING is a must read! The collection is a quick and humerous study of human behavior in corporate America. Nobody tells this story better than Stanley Bing!

FANTASTIC ... A MUST READ

This was one of the best reads of the year, honestly. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I took it on a six hour train ride and couldn't put it down. The collection of columns run the gamut of emotions -- most of them really, really funny, but others are eerily prescient, especially for anyone who has worked in corporate America -- and before I knew it, the train ride was over and I was still reading. Whether you're a fat-cat CEO, mid-level pencil pusher or rookie junior executive, this book has it all. Just don't try to expense it.
