Produktbeschreibung
Things are looking up for Hillary Montgomery. After three months of unemployment, she's landed a position with a top IT consulting firm, thanks to the secret maneuvering of her best friend, Lucia Hernandez. Hillary is confident that she has the qualifications to excel in her new position. But she will need more than competence and professionalism to navigate Sanger International's corporate culture. From the moment she first interviewed with Sanger, certain people at high levels of the organization took one look at her dark skin and natural hair and came to a swift conclusion: not one of us. Darryl Kelsey is especially opposed to Hillary's presence at Sanger. An arrogant vice president with a strong sense of who does and does not belong, he's determined to make her life as difficult as possible. But Darryl has enemies of his own... Exploring the unwritten rules that stack the decks against minorities in the workplace, Within the Walls provides a captivating glimpse into the inner sanctum of corporate America.
