"I Hope This Email Finds You Never" by Ken Kupchik is a humorous and relatable critique of corporate life and the absurdities of modern office culture. Through witty observations and clever anecdotes, Kupchik highlights the frustrations of endless emails, pointless meetings, and clichéd corporate jargon. The book's sharp humor and keen insights make it an entertaining read for anyone who has ever navigated the corporate world. It's a lighthearted yet pointed take on the everyday annoyances of office life, offering both laughs and a sense of camaraderie for readers.

As someone who is frequently frustrated by bureaucracy and 'the machine,' I was pleasantly surprised by the lightheartedness and witty humor of this book. If you can't laugh about it, you're going to cry. Despite the humor, I discovered strategies for dealing with others and making work suck less.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

This is a humorous non-fictional book meant to act as a guide on how to navigate the workplace in this era. This book involves all tips for work, from application to meetings and quitting. I loved that the book was easy to read and quite short but the amount of humor in the book was not for everyone. This book is perfect for fans of humor and there is something to appreciate and take from this book.

I had a lot of fun with this book. Going into it, my expectation was an actual advice book for the workplace. When I started reading it though, I was pleasantly surprised by all the jokes and jabs at various workplace traditions and nonsense. It was nice to laugh at all of the things that have been frustrating me lately in regards to work and it has made me fond of this book. Definitely gonna recommend this for some of my more overworked friends.

This book is every entertaining and quite useful if you are starting a new job or have to face a multicultural environment.
I had fun and found some pieces of advice useful.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

The jokes here are a bit much, not much more than common sense advice on list form..

I had high hopes, but was disappointed

This book wasn't much of anything and I like the title, but found lists of common sense advice not a worthy read. Too bad, but wish them well.

This book isn't helpful at all. The amount of jokes is too much, we don't even get to know what are real tips/advice and what's satire or jokes. I mean, I get it that their approach here was to be humorous and fun to read, but the amount of jokes was way all over the place and it's just annoying. It feels like they are trying hard to be funny and it isn't working for me.

It was hard to get into but after 50 pages the book picks up the pace. Some of the advice is entertaining and some helpful and practical. It's an interesting POV on office culture.

Thank you for the EArc. This book actually has some pretty sound advice between all the hilarity. I laughed out loud so many times reading this that I lost track. Perfect book for anyone who has a job and suffers through the daily grind. Loved it.

Thank you for providing me an advanced readers copy (ARC) in exchange for an honest review. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to listen to this story and leave my review voluntarily.

It's what I expected. It's not usually what I read, but as a graduating college student, I decided it could be helpful. I could tell the parts I was supposed to laugh, and sometimes I did! However, some of the jokes fell flat.

I couldn’t get into this. The jokes are the kind of thing that might be funny once or twice (which is why the description hooked me at first), but it’s basically the same exact thing over and over again. After the first few pages, the humor gets tiring and cynicism takes over.

The risk when you write a satirical book is to make sure the jokes aren't too over the top. Subtlety goes a long way. Unfortunately, this book wasn't able to find that balance.

This book involves all tips for work, from application to meetings to quitting. NetGalley kindle version was hard to read with the formatting issues but I would assume the purchased kindle version will be better.

It was a very silly book in general, so I’m not sure how useful it would actually be for anyone. It’s like Dilbert in book form almost. It did cover many aspects of work though, even pets at home

A funny quote example: “introductions can be fun because you have a chance to present the best fake version of yourself that your coworkers will ever see. But it’s imperator to be cautious when making introductions… a bad first impression can ruin a relationship right away, before you get a chance to ruin it gradually over a longer period of time.” Thank you NetGalley for the Arc!

This book is funny, satirical, and actually has some nuggets of wisdom in it!! I'm looking forward to using this when I start my new job as an onboarding trainer (so I can think about the things in here from both sides).
I think this book is enjoyable and good for anyone who has some existential frustration about work culture.
