Not About Money: The Decline of Morality in Corporate America as Documented in the American Courts of Law

Ellen, a timid young girl, hires in to a Fortune 100 Corporation and works her way up to a management position over a 30-year period. New philosophies, management styles and corporate movements prevail, causing the less-boisterous, older employees to receive ill treatment and lose their positions.She is the only female of many who are affected by demotion and retaliates with a discrimination lawsuit that ultimately speaks for all women and older employees. She has a difficult time finding an attorney to represent her, and the one she finally hires at one point refuses her case and later disbelieves in her and degrades her.Ellen encounters other major losses which include a long-term relationship and entrusted friends and co-workers who turn on her. She battles an on-going spasmodic affliction while doing demoralizing, tedious work, and any accolades she might receive are pulled from her in an attempt to subvert acclamation.She may be timid, but ultimately becomes strong as she fights back for principle. An astute girlfriend gives her excellent advice, guidance and support. She is also supported by many co-workers, to whom she gives recognition, while others are afraid of corporate intervention and ignore her. Despite all hardships, she doesn't like being demoralized, and proves that her fight is not about money.Blend, Ellen Marie is the author of 'Not About Money: The Decline of Morality in Corporate America as Documented in the American Courts of Law', published 2003 under ISBN 9781929219056 and ISBN 1929219059.
