   The Ropes to Skip and The Ropes to Know is a book on organizational behavior that is also quite practical for employees. Has some flaws (e.g. IIRC there's a horrible sexist joke in the intro), but worth reading; I'm not sure there's any other book like it.

   Self-promotion - doesn't cover everything you're asking for, but I've written a book called The Programmer's Guide to a Sane Workweek, about the skills you need and paths you can take to get a sane workweek (reasonable hours, shorter hours, remote work - whatever it means to you).

   For example, it talks about basics of negotiation, with some ideas for practicing at work that will both get you more practice and hopefully reduce some of the bullshit quotient at work. It's just an intro, so I suggest further reading, since it's just one chapter out of the book and I'm not an expert on negotiation.

   But there are, of course, many more chapters with other practical info.
