Hidden Under the Corporate Ladder Paperback - 2005

From the publisher

Hidden Under the Corporate Ladder gives a brutally honest look inside a scandalous Fortune 100 company. The story takes place in Dallas, Texas, in the mid 1990s, as told firsthand by an employee hired to work for a corporation's branch location to figure out why its operation isn't productive. Jackie expects misconduct; however, she finds more than she bargained for. When one of the perpetrators uncovers her mission and confides in her that he is in a Witness Protection Program with past Mob ties, he threatens to "do away" with her if she reports any wrongdoing-just as he did with the last person who ratted on him. The story is compelling as the reader is riveted to each chapter's no-holds-barred description of scandal, deception, sexual misconduct, misappropriation of funds, discrimination, and even death. Although the book is driven by scandal that is dark, twisted, or just plain vulgar, it is also filled with life's sometimes sad and disappointing situations as well as love and devotion. Most of all, it is filled with life itself. Destined to have a profound effect, the story is always powerful and keeps the reader turning the page as it details and describes misuse of management in unimaginable and incomprehensible ways.
