Surviving with the Enron Dinosaurs: AN INSIDER'S LIGHTHEARTED JOURNAL

The book takes a lighthearted look back at the author´s journey and experiences with the Enron Dinosaurs. Tucker, an ex-Enron pipeline engineer, brings to the reader a lighter side of the events that led up to Enron´s collaspe. The term "Dinosaur" was coined by upper management to describe employees who designed, maintained, and operated Enron´s gas pipeline systems. It was a derogatory term which expressed old-fashioned, boring, and un-innovative for the new "non-asset" age of Enron. Ultimately, the gas pipelines and resilient Dinosaurs survived Enron´s tragedy as it was found they were practically the only legitimately profitable companies owned by Enron. Although not as rich as they were during Enron´s peak, the easy-going and hard working Dinosaurs are still around, living happy, and still working on those pipelines.
