Rachel McMillan is like the crazy aunt who comes to Thanksgiving dinner and says the most inappropriate things. Some of her words might shock you, and some will make you uncomfortable. Though you might cringe at her unforgiving and opinionated dialogue, part of you says, "You go girl." After working for many years in the financial services industry this is Rachel's unrelenting manifesto. Tales from the American Workplace.

An average working girl trying to survive growing pains and personal tragedies while laboring in cutthroat corporate America, Rachel's story begins in 1990 and continues to the present day. She tells of workdays that consist of gossiping, backstabbing, bootlicking, and posturing for higher ground. Rachel narrates how one learns a lot about life while working in cubicles: humility, generosity, patience, companionship, sharing, and what it feels like to be totally disregarded.

This story offers an inside look at the personal side of working nine to five. Not always glamorous like the movies, Rachel shares the reality of the pain, suffering, and heartaches incurred while trying to earn a living in the American workplace.
