Description
In a Venezuela devastated by economic collapse, where a public manager’s salary barely pays for a child’s lunch and keeps a family alive, two women discover that poverty can hide behind an executive title.
Alejandra Valdez heads the Planning and Budget Office of a government ministry, selling her belongings just to put food on the table. Valentina Rojas directs Special Projects for a regional government, arriving each morning in an aging blue Volkswagen Beetle that refuses to give up—much like its owner.
Both carry the same impossible burden: salaries that disappear before the month ends, superiors who demand complicity, absent husbands who vanish when they are needed most, and the daily struggle to preserve their dignity in a system determined to break them.
When their paths cross at the Vásquez family’s home, they realize that survival is no longer enough. Together with attorneys Daniel and Ramón Vásquez, they build an alliance to expose the corruption, abuse, and intimidation that have become the foundation of an entire system.
But exposing the truth means becoming its next target.
And those who profit from fear never surrender without a fight.
The Poor Managers brings together the stories of The Poor Director and The Blue Beetle, delivering the powerful conclusion to the Broke in Heels trilogy—a gripping social thriller about corruption, friendship, courage, and the extraordinary women who choose integrity over survival.
Because nations are not sustained by speeches.
They are sustained by women.
Perhaps that is why Venezuela bears a woman’s name.
