Cult-Ish: Working in Society's Fringes

Cult-Ish: Working in Society's Fringes

A firsthand peek inside a secretive workplace

If you’re drawn to unusual true stories, this memoir offers a quietly unsettling look at what it’s like to work inside a business shaped by rigid belief systems. It feels personal and observant rather than sensational, which makes the strange everyday details hit even harder. You get both the human experience and the bigger social questions, making it especially compelling for readers curious about closed communities and fringe cultures.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

An honest and frank memoir about working for a British 'cult-ish' employer. A new job. A fresh start. And for Chris, a whole new world. From day one, he saw the opportunity to tell his story and raise awareness of a fundamentalist sect. Its members became his employers, playing out a bizarre daily charade, and opening his eyes to one of society's minorities. This is an honest and frank account about a new job and a 'cult-ish' employer, retold by the author in a short memoir. Working in Society's Fringes is based on historical research and observation by non-community members, and focuses on experiences of working for a business owned by participants of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. The author recalls his own experiences and controversies surrounding their practice of strict separation from worldly influences, and the accusations of cult-like behavior made by those from outside their inner circle. Look inside to sample the opening pages of this exclusive read. Get a glimpse into the strange ways this religious group run their businesses and discover the reality of being a managerial employee.
