Zombie HR
A satirical post-apocalyptic comedy about work, worth, and the undead.
After the apocalypse, it wasn't the collapse of civilization that broke Mallory Gage-it was burnout.
Once a top-tier HR manager, Mallory is now just trying to survive in a world where grocery stores are fortified bunkers, the living barter coffee beans like currency, and zombies. Well... they've unionized.
Led by a charismatic former dentist named Chompers, the undead are demanding fair working conditions: reduced brain quotas, safety protocols, and-of course-a comprehensive dental plan.
When Mallory is roped into mediating the first interspecies labor negotiation in history, she finds herself caught between corporate greed, undead unrest, and a very cranky community of survivors who just want to shop in peace.
Can one burnt-out bureaucrat broker peace between the living and the post-living?
Or will negotiations break down faster than you can say "hostile workplace environment"?
Zombie HR is a darkly funny, sharply satirical novel about labor, dignity, and finding purpose when the world refuses to die quietly.
