In an unnamed New York-based company, the employees are getting restless as everything around them unravels.
Thereβs Pru, the former grad student turned spreadsheet drone; Laars, the hysteric whose work anxiety stalks him in his tooth-grinding dreams; and Jack II, who distributes unwanted backrubsβaka βjackrubsββto his co-workers.
On a Sunday, one of them is called at home. And the Firings begin.
Rich with Orwellian doublespeak, filled with sabotage and romance, this astonishing literary debut is at once a comic delight and a narrative tour de force. Itβs a novel for anyone who has ever worked in an office and wondered: βWhere does the time go? Where does the life go? And whose banana is in the fridge?
