review:
I.T. Confidential is a cynical and no holds barred look at being I.T. staff inside a typical company. The book mainly deals with the type of people you will be working with and what a workday might look like.
With chapter titles like "So You Want To Be in I.T" and "Embrace The Meeting" you kind of know what you are in for. There is no type of office worker that is spared, so the reader will be laughing and grimacing as they read this. It seems like a lot of the examples are from working in larger companies, but I still recognized myself and others in the characters in this book.
It's quite cynical and the author includes an anonymous interview as well as handy lists of commonly used phrases in company meetings and a list of books you can now dispose of ('Punch Cards: Tips and Tricks' for example). A fun, quick read for those with a darker sense of humor.
I was given a review copy of this book by BP Press and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this book.
