If only management could tell the truth just once!

The price one paid

for going to work

was having your spirit broken,

and who should be

cruel to rule

talking with fork tongues

but the CEO and manager together

with their small man, woman syndrome.

Yes! The patronising hierarchy

sits on a perch gloating

with bloated wallets

where those in need

in the force do not 

get their over inflated bonuses.

When the two headed monster

slaps you on the back

of your head hard

for making a mistake,

he/she is shaking you hand

for being such a good worker.

What is one to believe?

When a little bit of truth

could go further...

their credibility dies

on their transparency

to deceive.

This really hits with me right now because of certain things that have just happened in my work life that have really made me step back and think for a moment. I do agree with the sentiment, probably more than I even wish to since I want to believe that there are good people at the top although it is uniquely hard to survive there. That part at the end about "their credibility dies on their transparency to deceive" is sort of uniquely ironic in its accuracy, especially today when "transparency" is such a huge selling point for different companies. Good read, I enjoyed it; it made me think.
