Citizen Dick - the book - Richard Arneson

Creative accounting. Mismanagement. Vanishing 401Ks. Insider trading. Misplaced power. Neuroses. Bloody clown suits. Meatloaf costumes. Self-administered prison tattoos. You guessed it… Corporate America. And in 1989, nobody better exemplifi ed those characteristics—and a hundred tawdry others—more than CommGlobalTeleVista, a telecommunications behemoth that’s future relied on a promotion that would provide customers with something they didn’t want or need, and a CEO who hoped buying a meat company—or acting like its takeover is in the works—would move their stock price north of $75 per share and award him a $100 million bonus. And it all happened because Dick Citizen—an unambitious, twenty-five-year-old with an obsessive hatred for his first name, an uncanny ability to hit a golf ball long and straight, and a bizarre skeleton in his closet—stumbled backwards into the last place he should be—you guessed it…Corporate America.
