A Witty, Insightful Romp Through the Chaotic Balance of Corporate Ambitions and Family Life: But at What Cost?
Melanie, a highly skilled executive assistant to top-tier executives, has always been the quiet force behind the scenes. While she enjoys her current role, the company culture leaves her disillusioned. Out of the blue, a high-maintenance former boss offers her a job opportunity that seems picture perfect, but which starts immediately.
Living in the picturesque but expensive Rivertowns of Westchester County, New York, Melanie constantly battles financial pressure despite her six-figure salary. Faced with a dilemma of timing and unable to say 'No, ' she decides to juggle both temporarily for two weeks until her bonus is paid, thinking, How hard can it be?
As weeks quickly turn into months and seduced by the promise of financial freedom, Melanie secretly holds down two full-time jobs and a side hustle. Raised by parents who lived through the war in Vietnam, she realizes how much generational trauma influences mindset and the choices she and her siblings have made. As she navigates the demands of her roles caring for everyone else, her story reveals what employees experience when faced with toxic corporate culture, demanding bosses, and the challenges of having it all, when happily ever after comes at a high cost.
Thrust into a high-stakes world of moonlighting, ambition, and desire, she embarks on a rollercoaster ride of hilarity and chaos as she strives to maintain her sanity and work-life balance as a caretaker to everyone.
