Publisher's Synopsis
Oscar Barnes never claimed to be a hero. He's just a guy trying to get it where he can. This goes for everything in his corporate life...promotions, female colleagues, and a better buffalo chicken salad. He never wanted the corporate life, but who does? Now, the very system he has always mocked is one which over the years he has become dependent upon...401K, health insurance, direct deposit, etc... With a lack of leadership at the corporate headquarters of mega consumer electronics retailer, The Box!, Oscar makes an unknowing mistake by negotiating a better deal behind his boss's back. On Monday morning he is hauled into HR's office to be subsequently fired, but his unmatched Powerpoint presentation skills are needed by week's end, allowing him one final shot to show The Box! leadership what he's capable of delivering. Appropriately titled, Living the Dream is the book we've all wanted to write. Anyone who has worked in a cubicle can relate to this story which celebrates the life, laughter, and lunacy of corporate America.
