What if your great new job had dire consequences for space-time integrity?Fresh out of college and unsure what's next, Taylor has lucked into a cushy job in human resources. Most companies keep costs down by outsourcing and off-shoring. Taylor's bosses are different. They're committed to staying "100% MADE IN AMERICA"-by bringing in cheap labor using a time portal. But their latest batch of "New Guys" aren't like the others. They're younger, and skinnier, and only speak Yiddish. Taylor is no hero, but he's definitely not a Nazi.
