Tired of biting your tongue in the office? Wish you had the perfect way to inform your coworkers they’re being, well… completely idiotic? Then this is the book for you! HR Approved: 52 Ways to Tell Employees That They're Stupid is a funny and satirical book that makes the perfect gag gift for coworkers, employees, managers, and bosses. It's a book that pierces through the veil of typical corporate speak where you'll find something hilarious for each week of the year. This book arms you with the perfect phrases for all those “really?” moments at work. 💡 “Yeah keep rolling your eyes… maybe you’ll find something useful back there.” 💡 “I’m not responsible for what my face does when you talk.” Great For: • Office workers who need a laugh (and a subtle way to vent) • The go-to gift for sarcastic colleagues and friends • Those looking for some stress relief Review: Bought for mother's day - As an author myself, I know the worth of a review, hence my leaving one. I flipped through the book myself, since it's a gift for my mom who is going back to work after a less than pleasant experience. At first I wasn't so sure about the design (HR memo on one side, joke on the other) but it's grown on me. Some might consider it "padding" the book to be larger, but for a joke book it works great. Also I don't usually buy joke/satire books, so if that's a normal formatting thing, sorry I mentioned it! Anyway, it's not mother's day yet so I don't have my mom's reaction to leave in the review. However, I really think she'll love it! And honestly? I love it too, if I had a job and someone bought this for me, I'd get a laugh out of it and maybe hide it in my car or desk to flip through when work gets stressful. I've also included a bunch of pictures of the book to help anyone snooping through your reviews trying to decide if they want to buy! Review: Great gift for co-workers - I bought this for a co worker for Christmas and he absolutely loved it! There are so many funny sayings in this book but make sure you don’t leave it sitting on your desk for HR to see. Haha This is a paperback book and it is good quality.

Very funny
I keep this in my desk and pull out to read and laugh after an irritating meeting with co-workers. It calms me after the laugh!!

Should have higher ratings
Not quite what I was expecting, but still enjoyed what I had read. I think it deserves a better rating than what it has. It is more like HR's funny notes on informing your coworkers that they are stupid. For me, the title made me think that it was different ways you could say your coworker is stupid that are HR approved. I could just be the odd one out on that interpretation, but just in case I am not. Still a fun, short read. Not disappointed.

Riot and a hoot to share with with your favorite coworker
This was purchased for an office white elephant and was a hit. It is a great gift for your favorite coworker, but maybe not for the HR manager hahaha. It is very short and light and hilarious.

See picture how “hilarious” this book is.
This book literally has just pages with quotes. Like the one in the picture. Quality is bad and there is zero fun in them.

I wouldn’t recommend
This isn't a book; it's a booklet of quotes. With terrible humor.
