New Release

Surviving the Red Tape Labyrinth.

FSU Professor Dr. Bradley Gordon finally says the quiet part out loud. From unjamming the departmental copier to deciphering emails that definitely could have been a Slack message, this groundbreaking memoir explores the bureaucratic absurdities that keep our brightest minds from doing actual work.

Featuring Highly Relatable Chapters:

  • "Reply All: A Tragedy in Three Parts"
  • "The Provost's 'Brief' Email (And Other Fables)"
  • "Faculty Parking: An Epic Odyssey"
  • "Canvas is Down (And I Feel Fine)"
  • "Reimbursement Requests and the Five Stages of Grief"
Pre-Order Now (Subject to Committee Approval)
"Gordon captures the sheer, unadulterated panic of a required password reset perfectly. I laughed, I cried, I submitted a travel request that was immediately denied."
— The Chronicle of Higher Frustration
"A masterpiece. It makes you realize that navigating tenure track is exactly like the Hunger Games, just with more beige carpeting and stale faculty lounge coffee."
— Journal of Unnecessary Meetings
"I tried to assign this reading to my undergrads, but the bookstore lost the order and the syllabus link broke. Highly fitting."
— Dr. E. Barnes, Colleague in Crisis
