Rawiter, Najah, and Baqladh at Ease

About this book

Inside a large and suspicious institution, battles are fought through rumor, performance, hidden rivalry, and the masks employees wear to survive. Ahmed Mashhour populates this office world with Rawiter, a seeker of noisy misinformation; Baqladh, inflated by delusions of importance; the calm Najah; and colleagues whose habits may feel uncomfortably familiar. The book uses visual storytelling, bitter comedy, and social observation to expose invisible systems of authority. A manager's silence can become an earthquake, while a meeting-room illusion can harden into accepted reality. This is less a management manual than a satirical anatomy of workplace conflict, where survival belongs to those who can read faces and omissions.
