Warning: This poem contains dark themes and references to death and depression. Here is the content:
Recruitment is like a whirlpool
Once you enter it
You have effectively sealed yourself
For there is no escape route
On the other hand
You keep getting sucked inside
Deeper and deeper
Until you are left with no choice
But to succumb to the Stockholm Syndrome
And make a home for yourself
In this dark and depressing dungeon
Which would put even Azkaban to shame
Coming to my personal experience
I work in a startup
And therefore, the pressure on me to deliver
Increases tenfold
At present, I am handling multiple mandates
No sooner have I shared resumes
For a particular mandate
Than I have to do the same
For the next mandate
And so on and on
Until I am left high and dry
Failing to close any of the mandates
My confidence at its lowest
As all I can do, is hopelessly watch
While the Dementors suck my soul out
Leaving me worse than dead
All because I chose Recruitment as a career
A mistake that would continue to haunt me
Even after my soul has left me forever
