The intergalactic megacorporation "Haltmann Works" is known for the fierce and fervent loyalty of its employees to its founding President Haltmann, with the corporate mantra/shanty approaching hagiography in its adoration of the founder.
But research suggests that the most iconic piece "Noble Haltmann" had origins as a far more complex work prior to official sanitization by company Morale & Development. Rather than being a song in generalized, safe, company-approved praise of the founder, research suggests that it began as a cry for attention. Of course, Morale & Development sanded down the edges of longing and anger, and repackaged the story of a lost daughter estranged from her father into an every-salaryman tale preaching the sensible virtue that *any* employee of Haltmann works can become family if they are dutiful enough at their job.
