Office Apocalypse
When the zombie apocalypse hits, software developer Kevin Park is stuck in the most dangerous place imaginable: a corporate team-building retreat. Now he's trapped in a conference center with his overbearing boss, the HR manager who tried to fire him, the CEO who doesn't know anyone's name, and Karen from accounting who still insists on filing expense reports for the vending machine snacks they're rationing. Surviving the undead is hard. Surviving corporate culture might be impossible. As Kevin navigates zombie hordes and mandatory synergy exercises, he discovers that the apocalypse has unexpected benefits: no more Monday meetings, casual dress code forever, and his annoying coworker finally stopped replying-all. The end of the world has never been this absurdly entertaining. Humor runs through every chapter, from sharp dialogue and absurd situations to characters whose personalities bounce off each other in entertaining ways. A story that balances entertainment with genuine heart.
