Rex Huppke interviews Jill Morris about PleaseFireMe.com and the site’s book, hoping to find some answers about how to have a better workplace.

Thanks Reader’s Digest for featuring our book Please Fire Me: Posts from the Revolting Workplace this month! Suggestion: The writer behind this gets tomorrow off.

Healthzone, the Toronto Star’s wellness blog, interviewed PFM co-creator and co-author Jill Morris about her book Please Fire Me: Posts for the Revolting Workplace and what it means as a sign of the times. He says of PFM:

“While offing your manager [a la Horrible Bosses] may seem extreme, less impassioned but equally disgruntled employees are satisfying their killer instincts by venting their anger.”

Business Insider, a leading business trends website, featured Meeting Boy’s review of our book Please Fire Me: Posts from the Revolting Workplace: 

“The thing I like about the book is that it goes beyond the user submissions to the site. Sometimes it’s a rant…and sometimes it’s some cool new content, like the Myth of Bizyphus, or The Gifted Engine That Shouldn’t.”

PopWork USA, a blog devoted to pop culture depictions of work and working families, looks at the reaction to “Horrible Bosses” around the internet, including Please Fire Me’s comedic article on The Huffington Post.

The NY Daily News interviews Adam Chromy and Jill Morris about their book and website and writes: 

“They collected their favorite posts into a book, illustrated them with graphics and organized the collection around a call to action. “It’s sort of like the time before the French Revolution,” he says. “If 1% of owners and bosses have all the fun and make all the money and 99% percent of people are miserable, some heads are going to roll.”

A review of our book:

“Though hilarious, at times, the book feels a little too familiar, and we cringe to know this all actually happened to real people.  But that, too, is acknowledged by the authors: as much as the idea of “revolution” is tongue-in-cheek, they never lose sight of the fact that real human beings are being degraded on a daily basis, and if they had it their way, the Please Fire Me postings wouldn’t need to exist in the first place.”

An extremely positive review of our book Please Fire Me: Posts from the Revolting Workplace:

“Even the most despondent of workers won’t be able to help cracking a smile at this collection of hilarious tales from the labor front.”

Pop Culture Passionistas, a blog for all things pop run by the Harrington sisters Amy and Nancy, gives us terrific and warm description:

“This is a service for the “malemployed” — the ever growing number of people who are stuck in jobs they absolutely hate. Those reasons can range from the absurd…To the seemingly inhumane. Visit the site, read away and be happy that the worst thing about your job is that you can’t wear pajamas to work.”

“Most people remain pessimistic about the job market. Sure unemployment rates fell to nine percent in January — dipping for the second straight month — but many analysts chalk that up to people simply dropping out of the work force all together. So as has been the case for a while, people who have jobs are staying put — whether they like it or not.

There is an outlet for the employment blues, however. It’s a website called PleaseFireMe.com.”
