You Need To Know About This...

Dwindling traffic tells me that no-one is finding Pharm Giles funny any more, hence my lack of activity just right now.  I don't suppose folk at Pfizer or Merck are in the mood for much of a laugh at the moment, for example.

But my old colleague Peter Cook gives us reason for cheer.

He has recently published a freebie e-book, Punk Rock People Management, that cuts through the ghastly bullshit of the HR industry and tells it how it should be. Here's a link to a low-res version - and if it takes your fancy, help Peter feed his family by buying a printed version here.
