And everything's tightly controlled by a secret underworld Finance mafia.Does this sound familiar? You've entered the rough and tumble realm of corporate business where crazy things happen and it's tough to survive. Welcome to the counter-intuitive playground of organizational life.Come along for a white-knuckle ride through our organizational theme park.
