DOWNSIZED
Downsized is a story of the internal politics of industry where small businesses become companies and companies are swallowed by conglomerates.
In the later part of the twentieth century the bottom line became the rule of industry. No industry was more subservient to the bean counter's numbers than the aerospace industry.
Dylan, a middle manager in a small aerospace company on Long Island that is about to be purchased by a larger corporaation, escapes to Florida only to find the realities of life are not deterred by location.
In a world of corporate intemperance, where loyalty and compassion are replaced with the human frailties of fear, self-promotion and subterfuge, we are introduced to Spencer, the narcissistic leader, Nick, the father figure; Allysoon, the exploited; Megan, the conniver; Refern, the troublemaker; Elmer, the ambitious, the troubled Del; and the demonstrative Will.
