Employees Last, Profit First

This is the story of BCLTech, Australia. BCLTech has invented a new motto, but only to admire its own reflection in the polished marble floors of its lobby. It operates on a different, far simpler gospel, a mantra whispered in boardrooms and etched onto the souls of its managers: Employees Last, Profit First. This novella follows the journey of Sunil Singh, a bright-eyed, hopeful data engineer who lands his dream job, only to find himself in a corporate nightmare.
It is a cautionary tale, a dark comedy that explores the absurd and often illegal lengths a company will go to in its relentless pursuit of the bottom line. It is a world of Profit-Approved seating, weaponized HR policies, and a culture where human beings are merely assets to be optimized, depreciated, and, if necessary, written off. As you follow Sunil Singh's descent from idealism to disillusionment, you may find the scenarios described to be exaggerated, even farcical.
But as with all satire, the question remains: how far is this fiction from the truth? Welcome to BCLTech, the land of opportunity-where the only opportunity that matters is the one that benefits the shareholders.
