The Wellington Firm

In the heart of New York City, where the skyline was dominated by giants of steel and glass, there stood a unique monolith of power known simply as "the firm". Its reputation reverberated through the echelons of the business world, resonating with tales of extraordinary success and ruthless competition. Among its many mysteries, one ritual set the firm apart, an initiation known only to those within its walls. This was not a mere signing of contracts or orientation meetings. It was a labyrinth, an intricate maze that sprawled throughout the structure, invisible to the unsuspecting eye. The maze wasn't just a collection of hallways and rooms; it was an existential crucible, a testing ground for those aspiring to be a part of the firm's elite. Each room in this labyrinth presented a challenge, a situation designed to reveal the true character of the hopefuls. Only through these trials could one earn their place in the upper echelons of the firm. Among the many drawn to the firm's allure was Robert, fresh out of business school, his ambitions as towering as the firm itself. Little did he know, as he stood at the threshold, that the journey to his dream job was not a straightforward climb up the corporate ladder. It was a path filled with unexpected turns and puzzling crossroads, a journey through a maze where every choice held weight, and the right decision could mean the difference between success and obscurity. This was the firm's initiation, its way of forging the best from the rest. And for Robert, the true test was about to begin. This is the story of his journey through the maze, in pursuit of his dream job.
