Clock in for a night shift - and for a moving multi-perspective novel that explores life in the gig economy.
 
Clock in for a night shift ...
 
When the store manager at an upstate New York superstore announces he's leaving, the motley crew members of Team Movement take the news surprisingly well. Overworked and exhausted, they spend their early morning shifts scheming about their jobs and their futures: this is their only chance to get their hated line manager Meredith promoted up and away from them. And then one of them can replace her - but who will it be?
 
'Help Wanted 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 The Idiot
