Stephen Jones is a shiny new hire at Zephyr Holdings. From the outside, Zephyr is just another bland corporate monolith, but behind its glass doors business is far from usual: the beautiful receptionist is paid twice as much as anybody else to do nothing, the sales reps use self help books as manuals, no one has seen the CEO, no one knows exactly what they are selling, and missing donuts are the cause of office intrigue. While Jones originally wanted to climb the corporate ladder, he now finds himself descending deeper into the irrational rationality of company policy. What he finds is hilarious, shocking, and utterly telling. From the Trade Paperback edition.

If you've ever worked in a big office environment and just loved it, like, "Oh boy, my cubicle is awesome and my management is just the BEST!"...this book is not for you. If you've ever worked in a big office environment and often looked up from your monitor, glanced around at the other drones, and thought to yourself, "Is this it? Or is there something more sinister at work? Is everyone here against me?"...this book is for you! Really funny.

Company is a hysterically funny novel about corporate life that has a fascinating twist to explain why companies are the way they are. Highly recommended.

"Last month we had to sit through a presentation on eliminating redundancy, and it was a bunch of Power Point slides, plus a guy reading out what was on the slides, and then he gave us all hard copies. I don't understand these things."
Great read for all those corporate monkeys!
