Corporate Man is called in to investigate reports of vile, unethical business practices at Great American Business Company. What he finds there just might destroy him (except we all know the ending to The Tragic Death of Corporate Man so it should be fairly obvious that it can't really destroy him, though it can come close).

Enslaved by the Bonus Whores is an all new Corporate Man Adventure Serial. Chapters will post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

After nearly a decade of imprisonment, Corporate Man returns to find the economy in ruins and his deadliest enemies in control of all but a fraction of society's wealth. He embarks upon a quest to set right the wrongs of the business world; a task that will ultimately destroy him.

Chapter 13


1.m.
“Your country needs you, Corporate Man,” Franklin D. Roosevelt said.  “I have a plan that will get us out of this Great Depression, but there is some opposition.”
Corporate Man adjusted his tie and slid a hand over his head to make sure his perfectly parted hair was still lying flat.
FDR continued, “The Greed is still out there.  He’s recruited some heavyweight players.  Political Indifference. Captain Apathy.  I can’t prove it, but I suspect he’s got his hooks into Elephant Man and Donkey Lass, too.  And he did something unnatural to Bull Market.  Turned him against us.  They call him Bear Market now.”
“Jesus.”
“No, I don’t think He’s involved, though we could sure use His help right now.  Our top priority, though, is Deal Breaker Dan.  Word is that The Greed put him onto us because of the proposal I’m about to unveil.  It’s called The New Deal.  Corporate Man, I can’t have this deal broken.”
“Don’t worry,” Corporate Man said with a wink.  “You can count on me, Frank.”
