Hidden Under the Corporate Ladder
by J L LaMay
Jackie leaves her salesman career in Missouri to take a job with the prestigious housing
company Manufactured Housing Association in Dallas, Texas. The new job promises a bright
future with great potential. Jackie has been a top salesperson in her past employment
and believes she will be equally successful here. The new job turns out to be a nightmare.
She is hired to figure out why a corporation's branch location isn't productive. At the
branch location her investigations are blocked by one of the top men who she learns is a
criminal with mob connections protected in the Witness Protection Program. He has discovered
her mission, which will jeopardize his position. He had "taken care of" the last person
who had been about to snitch on him. He threatens to do away with her if she reveals any
wrongdoing on his part. She receives no backing from her superiors; in fact she discovers
they are guilty of misappropriation of funds as well as sexual harassment. She has to
fight against extreme sexual harassment and corruption.
Jackie is a strong woman who is a pillar of strength, which sets an example of what
today's woman has to endure in the business world. There is no glass ceiling there for
women who have an almost losing battle to succeed.
This is a powerful story that keeps the reader's interest riveted in the progress of
Jackie's life. The reader is given an insight into the workings of the Witness Protection
Program and its apparent weaknesses. |
