A hilarious and indispensable guide to the weirdness of the place of work from Esquire editor and Entrepreneur etiquette columnist Ross McCammon

Ten years ago, Ross McCammon made an implausible and unexpected transition from working at an in-flight magazine in suburban Dallas to landing his dream job at Esquire in New York. What followed used to be a period of almost debilitating anxiety and awkwardness—interspersed with minor instances of professional glory—as McCammon learned how to navigate the place of work whilst feeling entirely in poor health-equipped for achieving success in his new career.

Works Well with Others is McCammon’s “relentlessly funny and soberingly insightful”* journey from impostor to authority, a story that reveals the place of work for what it is: an ceaselessly absurd landscape of ego and fear guided by social rules that no person ever talks about. By mining his own experiences at the magazine, McCammon provides advice on the whole lot from firm handshakes to small talk in elevators to dealing with jerks and underminers. Here is an inspirational new way of taking a look at your job, your career, and success itself; an accessible guide for those of us who are smart, talented, and ambitious but who aren’t well-“leveraged” and don’t somewhat feel prepared for success . . . or know what to do once we’ve made it.
