Watching the changing autumn landscape out her window, Tara couldn't help but think about how everything was dying. She felt bereft and weepy. Her two subordinates, Tony and Ken, noticed her melancholy mood. Tara knew that she had to be strong for them and do the research required to confirm her fears. So she did.
Tamin Hamid was the president of the multi-national corporation that bought out the company she was currently contracted out to perform services. His friendly face belied the cold hard facts stated on the website, and gave her a sick feeling down deep in the pit of her stomach. Why wasn't anyone reining in this corporation? Their acquisitions astounded her. They meant to have a "corner" in every aspect of data management!
Tara didn't know how much of this information was out there for public perusal and how much had been kept from prying eyes. She wanted to forget the images that flooded her mind when she perused the web pages. The evidence, however, was right in front of her. Bertha didn't want to believe her. Tara couldn't blame her for that. She didn't want to believe it either. Again, like the dutiful employee, she informed her boss about what she discovered. He confirmed to her that their company was also somehow controlled by that multi-national corporation. This made Tara's skin crawl. How much of her personal information was out there for them to manipulate? What could they do to her if she decided to present this evidence? Tara shuddered to think of the power Tamin Hamid welded.
More next week....
