The Dangled Illusion is the story of Raef Burnham, who works at WorldFoods, an American food company. When Raef is first hired, he’s placed on the leadership track and becomes a team leader within two years. But after sixteen years of dutiful service, he finds himself suddenly demoted. Raef struggles with telling his wife about the shattering news and wonders whether he should look for another job. The prospect of moving, however, is too much to bear, and so he resolves to put his career back on track. But Fortune Montag, the powerful vice president-and the ultimate company man, who thinks and acts like the corporation-stalls him at every turn. The Dangled Illusion is vindication for all those people who work at a job that shuns individuality and fails to reward its most talented employees. It’s for those who didn’t get to be the boss, who never made it to the next level, and who could never beat the forces aligned against them in an era of globalization and hypocrisy.
