Work sucks. It’s not the job, it’s the people.

There’s the guy who hates everything. The woman that derails every meeting. The jackass that built an evil empire around the accounting system. If they’d just go away, life at work would be a lot better. So fire them as nature intended. The law of the jungle has striking parallels in the office jungles of work. I’ll guide you through the wilderness of the organizational predator to show you how to hunt vile coworkers, even bosses, all the way to the pink slip. Patience and wits are the only fangs in play as I walk you through the graphic details of actual kills in the wilds of business. Witness real people just like your awful coworkers as they get another chance at being better...somewhere else.

From the audiobook:

Malignancy always starts simple. A bad idea is left unchecked, unbalanced. Take the guy who’s constantly running down the company he works for. He’ll tell you how bad things are in the break room, he’ll explain how he hates management to you at your cube, he’ll take any opportunity to slam the company: Its products, market, whatever he can get his mind wrapped around. He doesn’t like what he’s doing, but he doesn’t do anything to change it. He won’t quit and go somewhere else because the workplace is not the problem, it’s him. He is pernicious to the herd, riding the line of "dangerous yet not bad enough" to fire. This is weakness, and this is what predators hunt.

Weak prey comes in a lot of different forms inside companies. They build silos. They hoard knowledge. They attack their own. They make themselves indispensable and then get away with murder. They slow things down, dodge responsibilities, or wield process like a cudgel to hurt people. They freak out when something goes wrong, but they don’t pitch in to fix it, and sometimes they even encourage the disaster. They’re lazy, they don’t think, they do the absolute minimum to not get fired. None of these helps the herd. All of them make the herd weak.
