Slappy Will: Kids Guide To Bullying In The Workplace (Signed Copy)

Slappy Will: Kids Guide To Bullying In The Workplace... Professional Development From An Open-Handed Mentor

Slappy made films. Slappy made raps. He got his nickname from an open hand slap that occurred at a specific televised event that the entire internet watched in real time, and now Slappy is here to teach you about workplace bullying... specifically, what it looks like, how to recognize it, and how the person doing it tells themselves a story about why it was justified. This is a workplace guide. The guide's author has recent and documented experience in the subject matter. The guide does not frame this as a credential. The reader does the framing.

This adult parody book takes a specific cultural moment and turns it into a workplace training resource, which is both funnier and more useful than most workplace training resources that do not reference open-hand slaps or public spectacle. The book is about bullying in the workplace. The book's author-character has done something at a workplace that the internet watched. These two facts coexist without the book needing to comment on either of them directly. The reader connects the dots. The dots are connected before the book is opened.

This Book IS For:

• Anyone who watched the specific event this references and needed time to process it and has now processed it into a book
• Workplace professionals who find the collision between celebrity behavior and HR compliance genuinely funny
• Fans of parody that takes a real event and uses it as the basis for content that is technically about something else
• Gift-givers who want to give someone a workplace guide that they will understand immediately on a level the cover confirms

This Book Is NOT For:

• People who feel this event has been discussed enough and would prefer a moratorium on its use as comedy material
• HR professionals who feel workplace bullying is too serious to be treated with this specific tonal approach
• Anyone who saw the event and found it only upsetting without any comedic distance having developed since
• Workplaces currently dealing with an active bullying situation that references this event explicitly

Appropriate For:

• Office Secret Santa... the most specific Office Secret Santa book available for offices that are aware of current events
• White elephant exchanges where reading the book's author's nickname to the room is the entire gift-giving experience
• Gag gifts for anyone who works in entertainment, media, or any industry where award shows are relevant to their professional context
• Gifts for the HR professional in your life who has seen this event cited in workplace conversations and needs to laugh about it

Why Buy This

Workplace training materials are universally dull, frequently ineffective, and priced at a level that suggests the content is better than it is. This workplace training material is priced honestly, engages directly with an event that everyone in the professional world has discussed, and teaches about bullying by using a bully as the author-character without once making that explicit because it doesn't have to. The dots are connected. The training is complete. The open-hand slap is the pedagogy.

Slappy Will has things to teach you. The teachings concern workplace behavior. The workplace behavior in question is documented by approximately seven hundred million internet views and does not need further description. The book is the follow-up. The follow-up is available. Buy it for someone who will read the name Slappy Will and immediately understand everything. Immediately. Before the first page. That's efficient content delivery. That's professional development that works.
