One man's true story of the trials and tribulations he encountered while working at the evil empire of the retail world known affectionately as 'Wally-world'. The author thought he was merely applying for a job that he hoped would eventually lead to financial security in the form of salaried management. He didn't know that he had willing joined the ranks of an evil empire bent on ruling the world with the slogan—"Save money to live better." The author did not survive the experience...
This novel is dedicated to all the unsung, under appreciated—strapped for cash because the company keeps cutting your hours and using bad performance reviews to deny you the raises you deserve—associates who come in every day and make Wally-world what is. I know who you are or were and I appreciate all your hard work.
Why did the author write this and why should you read it? Good question. I'm not Bill Gates or any other highly famous and certainly much more successful businessman. I didn't exactly write it to get even with those who so maliciously persecuted me out the door of a career I loved. You could look at it as if it's some kind of soul healing exercise from a person who can't afford a good psychologist. It is all of that—but it's something much more too. By writing all of this down I found the strength and courage to climb back in the ring for another round—like that admirable American icon—Rocky.
This is one person standing up for all the associates at Wally-world who work so hard without much recognition or reward. It's for every person who dared to invest their heart and soul into their work because they believed it defines them as a person. And finally, it's for anyone who has ever found themselves in the same position as me.
If that doesn't interest you, well...It is kind of humorous...
Call it a warning to those who foolishly invest their heart and soul in place devoid of anything that resembles moral principles...
