Schloeffel, James and Charles Firth. Wankernomics: A Deep-Dive Into Workplace Bullsh*ttery. 2025. 256p. ISBN 9781399828482.
Wankernomics is a satirical guide to surviving modern corporate culture, aimed at anyone who feels lost in a sea of business jargon. The book mocks the use of buzzwords like "synergies" and "end-to-end solutions," highlighting how these phrases often obscure rather than clarify meaning. It's for employees who find themselves questioning the purpose of endless meetings and the confusing, jargon-filled language used by their colleagues.
Wankernomics promises to equip readers with the tools they need to navigate this perplexing world. Through humor, it teaches how to master passive-aggressive emails, use catchphrases like "circle back" and "moving forward" effectively, and even leverage a ridiculous LinkedIn profile to get ahead. Designed for those who want to outwit their coworkers and succeed in an office environment without actually understanding the corporate lingo, Wankernomics delivers a not so subtle critique of our current work culture and its propensity to expand the amount of pointless tasks and meetings to justify its own existence.
