Poem about all the things that my boss enjoys. Here is the content:
You really enjoy it, don’t you?
Keeping your employees on tenterhooks
Day in and day out
Loading them with so much work
That it’s a wonder no one has collapsed
Out of sheer stress and fatigue
Finding faults where there are none
Expecting delivery at the speed of a bullet train
And paying incentives at the speed of a passenger train
You really enjoy it, don’t you?
Playing with our feelings
As though they are merely balls
To be smashed for fours and sixes
Claiming that we have a culture of freedom
And then crying foul
When we work in a way
That does not conform to your unrealistic expectations
Assuring us that you are ready to help any time
And then proceeding to waste our time with irrelevant CVs
You really enjoy it, don’t you?
Expecting me to travel 20 km
By the dreaded Mumbai local
With its super dense crush load
In order to reach office at nine o’clock
When you and your wife
Never arrive before half past eleven
You really enjoy it, don’t you?
Taking credit for our successes
And blaming us for our failures
Expecting us to be organised in our work
And denying us something as basic as salary slips
Asking us to be present for a quick call
And then proceeding to waste our time
With irrelevant and unnecessary stuff
Really, is there anything you enjoy
That doesn’t involve your employees suffering?
