Welcome to the Jihad the Jerk at Work

"Fill in the Forms" Web page

Welcome

Welcome to the "Forms" website for the book, Jihad the Jerk at Work (Dunkeld House, 2005), Readers ! We're glad you found our site. Here you will find the eight (8) forms commonly employed by users of the Jihad the Jerk at Work system, ranging from the main Complaint Forms Package (the Faults List , the Cover Letter to Executives , and the Advice Letter to Executives from the Author), to the low-key Suggestions and Complaints Form, to the blockbuster Bombshell Form for emergency situations. Also, you'll find our Best & Worst Annual Contest form, the Book Feedback forms ( to include the all-important Eject-A-Jerk – EAJ – Report Form for letting us know how your workplace improvement campaign succeeded ), and finally a handy Book Order form.

Use Of

To use these forms, simply type in the fields provided (checkboxes, comment lines, comment paragraphs, etc.). After printing out a form, one may wish to pen or type in even more commentary, say, next to character traits noted on the Faults List, etc. This is perfectly acceptable, and adds more depth and interest to the form – more complete information will probably make a deeper impression on the form's recipient, ie the Jerk's boss or VP. As mentioned in Jihad the Jerk at Work , it's even encouraged to add more categories or character traits, if it helps to accurately depict the situation in your workplace. Don't be shy, let a thousand flowers bloom – life is short, idiocy in the workplace must be done away with, NOW !! Just make sure all the commentary is 100% true and honest, with no exaggeration, please.

As mentioned in the book, it's also recommended that one Xerox off several copies of any Complaint Package sent to the Jerk's boss, in case you have to escalate to Wave 2 or 3 after 30 days.

Caution

Most visitors to this website were directed here by the book, Jihad the Jerk at Work . These readers have studied this book carefully, and now desire to fill out some forms and print them. These will then most probably be actually paper clipped to the front of the book itself, and forwarded to an executive, manager, leader, or commander in an organization with a request for action. This is the purpose of this website.

If, for any reason, you have come to this web page by mistake, or independently of the Jihad the Jerk at Work system, you are hereby instructed not to proceed any further until you order the book for yourself and read it. You must not employ any of the other seven forms until you have also thoroughly read and studied Jihad the Jerk at Work . You must understand that this restriction is declared in your best interest. Use of these forms without a strong understanding of all the aspects of workplace reform is extremely hazardous, both for you and those around you. This kind of blind use could cause you unnecessary problems.

And who needs unnecessary problems ??

Also, it may be of interest to you that it is our experience that submission of the major Complaint Package Forms (the set of three: Fault's list, Cover Letter, Advice Letter) without them being actually attached to a copy of Jihad the Jerk at Work , lessens the likelihood of effective action being taken. Many submit the forms paper clipped to a book well annotated with post-it notes and yellow-highlighted passages, sending a dynamic message that even the dimmest of executives can clearly understand. If one is going to do this, then do it right … bag it and nail it !!!

Get it ?? Do it right , or don't do it at all.
