Surviving with the Enron Dinosaurs

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 collapse. 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 hardworking Dinosaurs are still around, living happy, and still working on those pipelines.
