Promoted Out

Promoted Out
An array of accumulated after-name acronyms
Bored boardrooms

Busy everything is urgent; needed it yesterday bosses
But only got around to telling you T-5 minutes ago

Detestable dynamic dashboards
Despondent documents
(because nobody reads them)

Fearful fall guy
Grief-stricken gofers

Perplexed overworked —
Eagerness-has-left-the-building
Employees

Sad, stressed-out strategic plans
Startled status reports

I'm over all of it — boreout
Yet I can't afford to quit
Only here for the paycheque
...Disheartening

Sniffin' corporate Kool-Aid fumes
In virtual meeting rooms
The end looms — no doubt

Thank you, Alice.
