It was good

This was a good book but wish it talk more in details how to fix the problem.

not about passive aggressive

this book is about lazy people in the workplace. Nothing about actual passive aggressive behavior.

Not a book

The gist of this “presentation” as the narrator/author rightly calls it, is to keep emotion out of it and zero in on problem solving. Save your credit. It’s a seminar without being able to see the slides, which are referred to in the narrative. The recording quality is bad, but understandable.
