Hired after eight years of higher education at a provincial town hall, Zoé Shepard quickly became disillusioned. Plunged into a world where incompetence rhymes with flattery, her days are punctuated by meetings where no decisions are made, reports she has to write in ten days (when two hours would suffice), welcome, farewell, and birthday parties. Not to mention the "training" seminars, hours spent gossiping in the canteen and at the coffee machine, bosses "overwhelmed" by online games, and everyone's pressing questions about holiday destinations and RTT (reduced working hours)... As a project manager in an all-purpose department, a certified administrative note faker, a G.O. for foreign delegations, and a head-nodder in meetings, Zoé Shepard recounts with biting humor her tribulations as a desperate civil servant in a world far worse than anything you could have imagined.
