Owner of Valuable Temps, Irene Douglas, is out of control. Her accountant told her that the business is doing great and she should reward her employees with a bonus. They had a 15% increase in revenue in one quarter. Well she calls a meeting at 5pm…YES after hours! She tells the employees the exact opposite. Not only that, but she tells them there will be no raises this year, no more coffee or tea…they need to bring in their own, no more napkins, plates or cups…need to bring that in as well. They also need to work overtime but will not be paid for any of it.
After suffering day to day harassment from Irene, her employees have had enough. They get together to confront Irene about her unreasonable demands. In a tragic turn of events, their entire lives change in an instant. We also learn that Irene has some skeletons in her closet that slowly creep out.
Wilma Brockington’s Office Politics is fast-paced, with non-stop action. The characters are believable, every day working people. They could be sitting in a cubicle next to you or me. Brockington does a great job inserting you bit-by-bit into their lives. The time stamps, at the beginning of each chapter, allow you to emerge yourself into the character’s day and walk it out with them. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and recommend it for those looking for a thrilling book.
