A Novel by V. E. Prasad

THE PEST

What happens when an employee becomes only a number?

A story of power, survival, ambition, and the human cost of the corporate world.

Through the metaphor of ants and elephants, The Pest explores corporate pressure, inequality, exploitation, mergers, acquisitions, and the struggle of ordinary people caught inside systems much larger than themselves.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Pest is a work of fiction that explores the changing world of corporate life through the experiences of people caught between targets, profits, promotions, and survival.

From the frontline worker to the corporate boardroom, the novel examines a world where people and businesses can become numbers on a balance sheet, while mergers and acquisitions reshape the lives of employees and communities.

The story moves beyond the workplace to explore the wider human consequences of a system driven by constant demands, ambition, and economic power.

The Pest is not simply a story about a workplace. It is a story about people living inside a system that never stops demanding more.

A STORY ABOUT PEOPLE INSIDE A SYSTEM THAT NEVER STOPS DEMANDING MORE.
