The Night Before Pink Slip
By: oosven@yahoo.com
From http://www.laidoffcentral.com

It was the month before Christmas and all through the land
Many people aren't working, but United We Stand

The laid off, the employed, and all in between
For those working for dot coms, you know what I mean

The CEO is slaving to save his own job
He isn't so worried about Programmer Bob

Or Ann in Accounting or Receivables Ron
Or Jodie from Publishing with the tight sweater on

You see the CEO has a list of his own
With many names of people who will go

Some naughty, most nice, but that doesn't matter
The company's profits have been quite battered

For pink slips can come any time of year
They can come without warning and without real care

Often folks ask, "How could this be?!?!"
Oh the pink slip is gruesome and causes worry

For severance is good, for those who get it
But many company's managements are far from fit

They cut and axe with little regard
"We're sorry, you're fucked" they write in your card

So Security Sam escorts you to the door
He's got his job for a few weeks more

That is until the company is totally screwed
Now Security Sam is drinking with you too

"Cheers" you say, as you raise your glass
"I hate that company, fuck those bastards!"

As you drink you realize just one piece of knowledge
Truly something you did not learn in college

Just remember this moral and your career won't bomb.
Don't work for a company that ends in dot com.


Got a good poem, joke, or something else funny?
