When Admin Roles Are Cut

They called it efficiency.
They called it streamlining.
They said everyone could "take ownership".

Then the admin roles were cut.

At first, nothing seems wrong. Emails still arrive. Meetings still happen. Work continues, more or less.

Then calendars clash. Invoices stall. Notes disappear. Decisions are made twice, or not at all. Highly paid professionals spend hours doing "just a bit of admin" while real work quietly falls behind.

This book is for anyone who lived through it.

When Admin Roles Are Cut is a sharp, painfully relatable satire about what really happens when organisations remove the people who quietly hold everything together. With dry humour and uncomfortable accuracy, it exposes how "efficiency" often means more work, more confusion, and less accountability for everyone else.

Inside, you'll recognise:

• Meetings about meetings that solve nothing
• Inbox chaos disguised as "shared responsibility"
• Managers rediscovering spreadsheets at 10pm
• The quiet panic when no one knows who's doing what anymore
• The inevitable return of admin, under a fancier job title

This isn't a management guide. It's a survival guide.

Written for office workers across government and corporate environments, this book captures the everyday absurdities of modern workplaces with wit, honesty, and just enough truth to sting.

If you've ever thought, "We didn't realise how much admin did until they were gone," this book is for you.
