PENDING APPROVAL

Hamza Farooq has one private hobby: writing a sharp office satire about the chaos inside RizqMart's Supply Chain Department. Then, during an ordinary morning crisis, he emails the wrong attachment to Finance. Within minutes, his secret manuscript is travelling through the company faster than any purchase order ever has. His manager is furious. His colleagues are offended, proud, terrified, or all three. HR wants a meeting. Finance wants supporting documents. Vendors sense opportunity. And somehow, the leaked novel begins exposing the exact process failures everyone has been pretending not to see. As jokes become evidence and office gossip turns into an internal investigation, Hamza must survive the one thing more dangerous than a bad performance review: becoming accidentally honest in a company built on pending approvals. Pending Approval is a workplace comedy about files, favors, fear, tea, printers, and the strange bravery required to tell the truth at work.
