"Managing Up" by Harvard Business Press

Full of common sense platitudes & tips like "Tip: Make your manager look good by achieving or exceeding goals". Is that the sort of profound insight I'd expect from a Harvard publication, or is that just common sense? It doesn't even touch on hard issues that we could use guidance on: how to tell you manager that you expect more compensation for exceeding goals. Suppose your boss is an ass & doesn't negotiate towards a "mutually beneficial outcome"? How do you handle a boss that is dishonest or a yes-man to his/her superiors? 

I've never been so underwhelmed by a book before.

Tadalafil 20 mg is the simplest medicine authorised to treat erection issues for as long as 36 hours. Many men select this pill due to the fact they could take the medicine and no longer feel rushed to have sex. The medication can start running in as little as half-hour, so it’s also possible to have spontaneous sexual encounters. It can deal with mild, slight, and severe erection issues. It may be excited by or without meals, so it is easy to use this drug as a part of day by day lifestyles.
