At 8:03 Monday morning, Ben Foster arrives at work carrying a coffee and wondering why the parking lot is empty.By 8:07, he realizes something is wrong.Reception is abandoned.Accounting is dark.IT is gone.Human Resources has left behind three plants and a strongly worded note.And somewhere between the elevators and the executive floor, Ben discovers what happened.On Sunday night, the CEO of Whitmore & Finch sent the entire company a motivational email containing one spectacularly unfortunate sentence:"If you don't love working here, perhaps you should consider leaving."So they did.All 311 of them.Everyone except Ben.He didn't read the email.Unfortunately, Monday is also the most important day in the company's history.Their biggest client is arriving at noon to sign a deal that could keep the business alive.The CEO is unreachable.The building is empty.The phones won't stop ringing.And Ben-Assistant Inventory Coordinator, Level Two-is apparently the highest-ranking employee still employed.He has four hours.What follows is a spectacularly bad attempt to operate an entire corporation with one employee, a malfunctioning printer, an intern who technically resigned but forgot her laptop, a former IT manager willing to help for pizza, several furious customers, an executive nobody realized still worked there, and a rapidly growing group of ex-employees who have discovered that watching the company collapse from the café across the street is considerably more entertaining than going home.Every time Ben fixes one problem, he creates three more.Every time the deal appears saved, someone discovers another disaster.And by lunchtime, keeping the company alive may no longer be the strangest thing on Ben's schedule.Because 311 people quitting on the same day doesn't just reveal how badly a company is run.It reveals who was actually running it all along.Fast, ridiculous, unpredictable and packed with escalating workplace chaos, The Day Everyone Quit is a comedy about terrible management, accidental leadership, corporate nonsense-and the most important Monday one completely unimportant employee will ever have.
