This is a collection of stories written by representatives of the new “class” of managers for the regular column “Friday Manager” on the website of the E-xecutive online community. The selection of the best stories for publication was carried out by members of the Community by voting. Here you will find funny and serious, ironic and sad reflections of managers about their life in the office and outside it, about the purpose and meaning of existence, about what makes them happy and upset, excites, makes you think or laugh. The book is intended for those who value a sense of humor and an unconventional look at everyday phenomena, and guarantees every reader a “Friday mood”!
