Many people silently suffer from the behavior of their bosses. Only a few employees clearly express their frustration to their superiors. Instead, they prefer to gossip at the copier, cry behind closed office doors, or simply resign at some point. Meanwhile, the boss wonders, thinking he has done everything right and has nothing to blame himself for. What if someone were to tell him the truth? This is exactly what happens to the manager in Christian Zipfel's book. During a company meeting, he accidentally overhears three employees from other departments complaining about the behavior of their superiors. He begins to ponder: Do his employees talk about him like that too? He asks one of the three overheard employees, Thomas, to share everything that has bothered him about his bosses in the past. Over the next few weeks, they meet regularly.
