By the time Easton Company CEO Jeffrey Elkins entices a major
competitor to buy his Fortune 500 company, the corporate jet is
waiting and his parachute is platinum. In thirteen weeks the deal
of a lifetime transforms a handful of quirky executives into
undeserving multimillionaires, propels a workforce into
unemployment and dispatches unsuspecting retirees into poverty. In
the background, security guards dance naked in mall fountains, the
corporate jet is sold on eBay, and a CEO utters his final words
before relinquishing his title: Make sure the employees get their
pumpkin pies.
The memorable cast of corporate characters includes a germophobic
CEO, a marketing VP turned Elvis impersonator, the Sundance Kid of
Everyman Compensation, and a purchasing director nicknamed the eBay
Wizard.
An estimated one in five corporate employees has experienced a
merger or acquisition. "Pink Slips and Parting Gifts" is their
story - the one every corporate cubicle jockey, business-class road
warrior and mid-level manager will want to read.
"This is the new 2012 edition."
