"If you associate things like 'soul-crushing' and 'menial' with what you do, you'll definitely appreciate this book. Somehow the author avoids coming across as a ghetto-tourist fascinated by the lives of the proletariat--it's the manipulative managers and company values that she understands to be the real adversary. It's a difficult balance to strike without patronizing the people who're stuck in these jobs, but given that the book is written from an inside-looking-out perspective it succeeds in creating a realistic looking snapshot of a lifestyle that is sadly becoming a daily reality for an increasing amount of people." - Riot "Continues in the long tradition of the irritable labor zine, with its laugh-out-loud tales of mischief, slacking off, stealing time, and sneaky insubordination. When she adds in the local color--tales of mobsters setting cars on fire in the neighborhood and nutbar naked dudes squatting the parking lot--it rounds everything out to a well-told and hearty tale of work, both familiar to anybody who's had a shitty job and quite unique." - Razorcake.
