Overview

Perhaps it'll make you feel better about your own company, which is probably not quite this screwed up. - Ron Dippold, Slashdot contributor I highly recommend reading this book...from the neophyte programmer so they can 'get their guard up,' to the seasoned veteran (for laughs over times gone by). - J. David Boyd Cube Farm should be required reading for young people considering careers as computer programmers. - Philip Greenspun, MIT Computer Science Researcher If you want to...confirm your fears that corporate life is horriblei' read Cube Farm. - Tom Duff, Duffbert's Random Musings (Check out a recent interview with the Reverend on Code Generation Network!) Truth is often stranger than fiction, especially when it comes to the workplace. In Cube Farm, author, Bill Blunden, recounts his three years in Minnesota, performing research and development for Lawson Software. Riddled with intrigue, duplicity and collusion, this story offers a trench-level view of a company in the throes of internal rivalry, and suffering from a string of failed projects. If you have ever suffered at the hands of an incompetent manager, or toiled in a dysfunctional environment, then this hilarious account will appeal to you. Cube Farm provides ""lessons learned"" sections, at the end of each chapter, which delve into the basics in corporate self defense.
