Here I Sit...

boredom caused this piece

So Here I Sit...

watching the hours drag by

office is a ghost town

with me the only human

 

no subtlety, no sophisitcation

they all want what they want

but what about my needs?

what about what I want?

 

taken so much for granted

payrise? what a farce...

$30 dollars to me, $28 of that to tax

Are you kidding me?

 

soon you will be sorry

you will falter and fumble

i won't be here to catch you

in your meddlesome debarkle

 

you will find you had a treasure

you lost it due to indifference

you will find your profits falling

as i move on to a new experience

 

no begging and no promises

they will not suffice

i look forward to your crumbling

business, free income & advice...

Funny, I was a Boss-- I wonder what my employees thought? An a*s--probably so but There were some employees --well they were worst. they were a******s. :)

haha Great write! I have thought those things many times myself! I wonder how many people they will hire to replace you?

(I was told by an employer one time that I was not irreplaceable, so if I was unhappy with my salary and workload, I should feel free leave; so, I did. They hired three people to replace me! I wonder if those three cost more to Payroll than one lil ol' me? I love progress!)

Wonderful way to 'get it off your chest'!

Tell me he won't be sorry he enslaved you. Sounds as if you were the reason your boss stayed profitable.
Nice write especially writing this while you were bored.

lol wow, this is nice! haha the note at the bottom made me laugh!
just one criticism - in the fourth paragraph, you misspelled "here" as "hear" - other than that, it's perfect!
nice job!

Fine write... bosses... they get to be boss and they seem to forget what they had to do to get to be "boss". Guess that's why when I was assistant boss I always did the grunt work myself... didn't want to ask anyone else to do what I wasn't willing to do... besides it got me away from the register and outside away from my co-worker. ;~) Might want to edit one word... line 15's hear to here... just my English Teaching mother and friend's influence invading your poem. ;~{ I like it and may just send it to my little brother who's having some similar job issues these days.

Have a good day!! Sallie Bear

Working your tale off for inadequate pay is bad enough, but to have an ogre standing over you is extra misery. I hope you can fly that coop, Melanie, and find better employment with no ogres.

lol. Gooooooo Stormz. I definitely think they'll kick themselves when you do leave. You are the company. Love the empowerment behind the poem. Take control!:) xxx
