Everything Under Control

A Business Soap
Published by Diogenes as Alles im Griff
Original Title: Alles im Griff
A Business Soap Tobler is new at the company, and feels like it, too. But he is convinced: it was the real deal, switching from TYLCO to their competitor, CRONSA. Because for years someone had been in his way, stopping him from getting promoted. And Tobler wants to go far. CRONSA is known for being a dynamic place to work, not a paradise for layabouts. But unfortunately a surprise awaits him on his very first day. Once again, there is something for everyone here: The boss, »a little over-stretched by his career, incapable of organising himself or even of managing to fill his own cup with vending machine coffee«, the secretary »underpaid but indispensable«, or the unappreciated qualities of female competitors: »She had him under her control. Because she had studied him. Something that men are not capable of. They judge others by their own standards. A typical male error.« And last but not least, an insight into whether »them up there« really have everything under control: »The lights are on too often at night in the accounts department.«

»Martin Suter’s gaze is fresh and wicked, his ear for dialogue infallible. Quite simply, his works are literary genius.«
Constantin Seibt / Die Wochenzeitung, Zurich
