Graphic artist Rob Stone is selected as the new CEO of Remora Insurance. Although he has guile and a sharp tongue, he lacks any management or business experience, and must overcome a variety of challenges.
He must contend with a white-collar rebellion, a gun-toting claims adjuster, and transforming the cafeteria into a wedding and bar mitzvah joint under the name Tray Chic.
But these are the least of his troubles. The Head of Marketing becomes the first person in medical history to be paralyzed from the waist up when she is hit in the head with a bagel, but she persists in her job. And worst of all, most believe Stone cannot be trusted, as he is too honest.
SUCCESS IS NOT AN OPTION is a witty, insightful book about the American workplace which no boss will ever find witty or insightful.
