Are you feeling "aligned" with your corporate mission, or just tired of the synergy? L is for Layoffs: A Late-Stage Capitalism Book of Rhymes is the ultimate alphabet book for the disillusioned professional. From "A is for Alignment" to "Z is for Zoom," this darkly humorous A-Z guide strips away the glossy veneer of corporate jargon to reveal the absurd, exhausting, and often soul-crushing reality of the modern workplace. Gone are the apples, balls, and cats of your childhood. In their place, you'll find 26 biting, rhythmic verses that tackle the hallmarks of the 9-to-5 grind: the "Next Steps," the "exit interviews", the "pivots" that lead nowhere, and all the "Mission Statements". Each rhyme is a cathartic nod to the person who has ever had their innovation killed by bureaucracy. Perfect for the jaded millennial, the Gen X cynic, or anyone who has ever considered throwing their laptop into the nearest body of water, this book is a survival manual disguised as a nursery rhyme. Whether you are currently "between opportunities" or just counting down the minutes until five o'clock, L is for Layoffs provides the dark levity needed to survive the era of late-stage capitalism.
Highlights include:
B is for Bureaucracy
W is for Work-Life Balance
Q is for Quiet Quitting
A perfect gift for departing colleagues, coworkers in the trenches, or yourself, because if you don't laugh at the corporate machine, you might just cry in the break room.

Corporate employees, office workers, remote staff, HR professionals with a sense of humor, and anyone interested in workplace satire or social commentary on modern economics.
