Currant Keppler has a fresh MBA and her first corporate job: participating in the LATTE Management Rotation Program at Alpine Chalet Coffee Company, the Midwest's second-largest coffee chain. She's fluent in jargon, excited for new challenges, and completely bought in-until she realizes that there's something fishy with her first project.
"I'm in the big leagues now", she tells herself. "This is just how the game is played".
But when a question of ethics turns into a question of murder, she learns that some people will do anything to succeed–and that no one is their authentic self at work.
Combining corporate culture, the start-up scene, cabin life, and punny coffee drinks, Firebrand takes a campy, loving look at impostor syndrome, authenticity, and the absurdities of the corporate world.
