Synopsis

There’s only one open “diversity” position at this start-up, and the White Corporate Boss Guy is ready to watch the minorities duke it out for the sweet, sweet privilege of employment. Ada A.’s wicked satire about modern-day job search and employment culture offers a scathing rebuttal of the working world—and the cost of surviving within it.
