A bold, funny, and deeply practical playbook to navigate toxic workplaces, outsmart bad bosses, and take control of your career—no matter who’s in charge.

“Annoyingly funny, phenomenally helpful” - Chris Donnelly

My Boss Is a Moron is the book every frustrated employee didn’t know they were waiting for—a bold, hilarious, and genuinely helpful guide to navigating bad management with your sanity and career intact. It meets you exactly where you are: stuck under leadership that’s clueless, careless, or downright toxic. And, more importantly, gives you real-life strategies for managing up, recognizing dysfunction, setting boundaries, advocating for yourself, and knowing when it’s time to walk away. It’s smart, cathartic, and highly practical—perfect for anyone who’s ever thought, Is it me? Or is my boss actually the problem?

You’ll be taken through the entire messy lifecycle of working with a boss, from decoding shady job descriptions and awkward interviews to navigating pay rises, promotions, annual leave, and more. Along the way, the book pulls back the curtain on why bosses and companies make the decisions they do (even when they make zero sense) and shows you how to play the game without losing your mind or your momentum.

From Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, serial founder, and one of the fastest-growing voices in workplace culture, Ben Askins pulls from the hundreds of thousands of real workplace stories his fans have shared with him and delivers a sharp, no-BS survival guide for the modern employee—especially when the person in charge has no idea what they’re doing.
