What Eight Years a Contractor, My Own Backbone is about
Iris, a second-generation immigrant, works eight years as a contractor at Merrill Bank. Ranking top in performance across the whole bank, she faces long-term suppression and unfair deductions by her supervisor Margaret. Biding her time, she presents evidence at an all-staff meeting, triggering clients to withdraw tens of billions in assets and sparking a liquidity crisis for the branch.
