Overview

Your boss takes credit for your work. Kavi's also eats flies.

Kavi Fernando has finally landed the job he wanted. Better salary. Impressive office. A company that promises he can bring his whole self to work.

His boss is a lizard.

Everyone else seems fine with that.

At Meridian Pacific, hard work gets you noticed - usually by someone ready to present it as their own. Promotions depend on "executive presence". Honest feedback requires a coaching conversation. And the instruction to be yourself comes with several unwritten conditions.

As Kavi navigates office politics, networking rituals and leadership's remarkable talent for avoiding the obvious, he faces a question no employee survey seems willing to ask: how much of yourself can you edit before there is nothing left?

People, Culture & Other Reptiles is a short, sharp satire of modern Australian working life: ambition, belonging, corporate doublespeak and the strange creatures who keep getting promoted.

For anyone who has survived a restructure, completed a compulsory wellbeing module, or been asked to "bring people on the journey" when they were simply trying to do their job.

Bring your whole self. Tail included.
