The Corporation V The Dragon – By Mark McIntyre
Corporate stupidity has never been this majestic… or this funny!
Prepare to laugh until your HR department sends you a “neutral act” email.
This “true-ish” exposé drags you into Belfarce, a place where organisational logic goes to die and the deadliest threat a deaf-blind charity has ever faced is… a children’s book about a dragon.
Meet Mark McIntyre, a humble team leader guilty of two heinous crimes: caring and thinking. Alongside the Storyteller – a woman who literally chats with dragons – he dares to create Sandy the Dragon, a heartwarming book about kindness.
The Corporation’s response? Pure corporate theatre.
The HR department, ruled by The Soul Collector (a creature of pure malice and hairspray), deploys “safeguarding” buzzwords like confetti, hints at police action over a paperback, and treats “royalties” as if Mark’s claiming to be heir to the throne.
Inside you’ll find:
• Karen, Queen of Finance – loves numbers for their curly shapes, once signed off a million-pound invoice for paper cups, and thinks “unlimited fine” is a spa day.
• CEO Dick – a chinless wonder who has failed upwards for decades, struggles to boil an egg, and suspects his laptop is judging him.
• The Boardroom of Buffoons – a gaggle of swivel-eyed strategists who respond to legal threats with laughter and brown paper bags over their heads.
When they accidentally budget millions for a £50 “Enforcer” – an ice cream man with the slowest riddle-solving record on Earth – Mark’s patience snaps. Armed with a Cease and Desist letter and a 45-page evidence nuke, he unleashes truth, dragons, and possibly a BBQ on CEO Dick.
A riotous mix of corporate satire, absurd workplace politics, and a surprisingly uplifting moral – The Corporation V The Dragon is proof that when facing an enemy this dim, your best weapon is the truth… and a mythical creature or two.
Warning: This book may cause uncontrollable laughter, eye-rolling at the phrase “neutral act”, and an urge to check if your own CEO can operate a kettle.
