This novel is an irreverent, spicy, provocative and satirical tale of one man’s life and his work within Corporate Enterprise. From observing the curious behaviour of others to the Rabelaisian portrayal of his adventures during a long and undistinguished career. The corruptive influences, the inefficiencies, the business relationships, the hedonistic and sexually-charged environment, the nefarious morals and the sordid secrets behind the glitzy Corporate façade. From a man’s humble beginnings within a working-class Scottish environment and through his meteoric rise to the very bowels of Corporate business. This book invites you to stop taking yourself – and life – so seriously. Life is for living and laughing. You may recognise your boss – yourself? Quite possibly. A rollercoaster of a ride, it cocks a prominent middle finger at the establishment, the shallowness of modern life, politicians, celebrities, pretentious and affected careerists. Are you bold enough to step inside and laugh at yourself? Can you respect the opinion of others even whilst you vigorously disagree? Can you steel yourself to put down your chick-lit or that crime thriller and immerse yourself in something…different? This is a Marmite book. Some will frown or be incensed by the occasional inflammatory and controversial comment. Others may smile or even laugh. Perhaps, even a tear or two will be shed. For a select few, testicles may shrivel. Even some men will feel nervous, too. Smile…I dare you! There – that wasn’t so bad, was it? It’s not for the faint-hearted. If you don’t fancy a giggle or are easily offended – please look away now.
