 Severance
Author Richard Kaempfer sets the stage in $everance immediately:
Sierra Megamedia wants their long-time Chicago morning radio personality Tom Zagorski to quit so they won’t be stuck paying his severance. Their plan is simple: Make him so miserable that his pride won’t allow him to continue.
Tom Zagorski became a popular Chicago radio personality because of his slightly skewed point of view. His motto is: as long as wrong is wronging right, right should wrong wrong until wrong rights right. Using passive aggressive warfare, Zagorski tries to irritate his bosses into firing him and eating his severance.
Who will give in first in the ultimate severance battle?
$everance is a scathing satire about the personalities, finances, and politics of the consolidated mainstream broadcast media. Author Richard Kaempfer’s wickedly funny novel shines a much-needed spotlight on who and what really runs the media.
