Under the red-eyed scrutiny of their self-absorbed and barely competent boss, they empty delivery trucks of mountains of merchandise, stock the shelves and stagger home (or to another poorly paid day job) before the customers arrive.</p><p>When a chance for a promotion presents itself, the diverse members of Movement - among them a comedy-obsessed oddball who acts half his age, a young woman clinging to her "cool kid" status from high school, and a college football hopeful trying to find a new path - band together and set a just-so-crazy-it-might-work plot in motion. <em>Help Wanted</em> is a darkly comic workplace drama that explores the aches and uses of solidarity, and most of all it is a deeply humane portrait of people trying, against increasingly long odds, to make a living.</p>...(*_*)9781805221647_<p><strong>A <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> Book Review Editors Choice</strong><br /><strong>A <em>VOGUE</em>, <em>VULTURE</em>, <em>ELLE</em>, <em>NEW YORKER</em> and <em>ECONOMIST</em> Best Book of the Year</strong><br /><strong>A <em>TIME</em> Must-Read Book of 2024</strong></p><p><strong>Filled with an exceptional cast of characters and written with a delicious acid-drop humour <em>i Paper</em>, Best Paperbacks Out in 2025</strong></p><p><em><strong>Help Wanted</strong></em> <strong>is like a great nineteenth-century novel about now, at once an effervescent workplace comedy and an exploration of the psychic toll exacted by the labour market Elif Batuman, author of</strong> <em><strong>The Idiot</strong></em></p><p><strong><em>Help Wanted</em> held me from its first page.
