Description

Survive the 9-to-5 so you can make it to your 5-to-9! This hilarious gift book swaps business-speak for actual human language—a viral TikTok sendup of office culture for anyone who's sat through a meeting that could've been an email.

Corporatespeak: “Take this offline.” Translation: “I have no idea how to handle this, so I'm just going to hope you forget about it.”

Whether you're a burned-out professional, a veteran of Zoom calls that could've been emails, or a fresh grad learning to speak fluent office, stand-up comedian Mike Mancusi—as his viral character the Corporate Translator—shares the practical takeaways anyone can use to communicate like a human at work.
  • 100+ buzzwords and euphemisms decoded into plain English
  • HR-approved ways to express pure hostility to a coworker
  • Scripts for negotiating raises, acing interviews, and navigating the office environment from onboarding to exit interview

Decode the chaos and laugh your way through your next performance review!
