Alex in Workingland: A Born Agile Workplace Satire Inspired by the Lewis Carroll Classic

What if your biggest problem at work isn't the people, it's the bureaucracy blocking them?Alex thought she was starting a normal job. Instead, she tumbled down the rabbit hole into Workingland, a corporate wonderland where meetings go in circles, approval processes multiply like rabbits, and everyone's terrified of Quinn Hart who keeps shouting "Off with their headcount!"In this razor-sharp workplace satire inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Alex discovers something remarkable: people aren't the problem. The problem are the walls which interfere with the flow of ideas between brains.Follow Alex as she navigates absurd meetings that accomplish nothing, encounters a Cheshire-grinning pattern teacher who points at obvious problems, and watches conference rooms literally transform into croquet grounds and courtrooms. Along the way, she learns to spot the Four Walls of Interference blocking every organisation: - Cognitive interference - complexity that obscures rather than clarifies- Emotional interference - fear that prevents honesty- Structural interference - process that blocks natural collaboration- Leadership interference - control that suppresses autonomy and creativityBut this isn't just satire. It's a revolution disguised as a story.As Alex helps colleagues see these invisible walls, something unexpected happens: change spreads virally. Not through frameworks or consultants, but through simple conversations. "What's blocking you?" becomes the question that transforms an entire organisation, even its controlling VP who built walls to protect herself from past failures.Perfect for readers who: - Recognise the absurdity in their own workplace- Want organisational change without another framework- Believe people are smarter than systems give them credit for- Need to laugh to keep from crying at workBorn Agile isn't a methodology. It's a remembering: people are naturally agile. Bureaucracy just makes them forget.Welcome to Workingland. The walls are coming down.
