I read this short story be jeffery archer.. it talks about the
daily lives of employees within a hotel..
1st start with begger nearby who admires the doorman's chance to
earn living..
..the doorman admires the receptionist's chance to earn
more..
..the receptionist admires the lao jiao supervisor's higher
salary
..the lao jiao supervisor admires the junior manager's chance to
have an office, highly educated, more money
... the junior manager admires his senior manager's chance to get
into the board, have stock options..
..the senior manager admires the V.P chance to eat at better
restaurants, have a larger car, more chance to rub shoulder with
the ceo etc
...the v.p. wonders when he will ever be as rich as the CEO and
finally possess the authority to decide for the hotel
.. then the CEO who is facing a lawsuit, his wife running off due
to negligence, his mistress asking for more money, the press asking
his decisions is walking out of the door of the hotel, while people
are greeting him etc..
On the way to his chauffered driven car, he passes by the beggar
sleeping and threw him a coin.. and wishes that life was as simple
as that beggar......
