About this title

Synopsis

"We suck. We are a bunch of liars. And we are going to lay off a lot of people."

At once hilarious and tragic, set in Silicon Valley but devoid of jargon, Closure of the Helpdesk is a story of how America's workforce slipped from "nothing but the best" to "everyday low wages" right before our eyes, in one short decade. Put simply, Closure of the Helpdesk is a mirror to life if you are a geek--or a window to it if you are not.

Chapter titles include Donuts Beat People, The Slave Club and SEC, Lies and Financial Results.  Yes, this is where Wall Street meets Microserfs.  Pick up a copy today and prepare to be entertained!

"That's the problem with any 'simple truth'--in the end it always takes a gaggle of complete idiots or a team of all-knowing geniuses to miss it."

About the Author

Armed with a BS in Engineering and an MBA, Ali Sheikh has been working in the corporate world for twenty years. It's fair to say he has more than the obligatory ring-side view of his subject--he has been living in the ring for a long time.  Closure of the Helpdesk is his first book; and he has more on the way.
