they know how to deal with you
they know how to use you,
they know how to eat your soul
and fuck your brains out, they
are always looking for something new
and there is always something else and something’s more,
and nobody is fucking happy with anything.
the stock price is your god
and you are the dog, the slave, the fucked up one
who thinks to please them will mean
to be one of them and be better than everybody else.
they have their own club and the members are just
like them, you will never be part of them.
and even in the rare cases, you might have a chance
they will break your soul and your mind
just so you can be more like a slave for them.
you sacrifice the best days of your life
you run down the precious health you’ve been lucky to have,
you’ve forgotten what it means to sleep well at night,
and the fucking coffee means more to you than your blood.
you sit at your desk numb and cold,
the air conditioner is freezing you to death.
you miss all these nice beautiful sunny days,
the walks in the park, the time with your wife and children.
you barely have time to spend on the fun stuff,
all the things you love you will sacrifice for the
bigger price, for the higher stock price, fuck you and fuck your life.
the career is what you live for and they know it well and they make you
feel like there is nothing else so important.
and what do you get for that instead?
401K up to 6% matching, 18 PTO days which you are always afraid to take,
a few general main holidays, and fucking expensive health insurance,
3% of annual salary increases and if you are lucky enough
you might get a little promotion.
corporate motherfuckers are there to kill you and
destroy you
and suck all the life out of you.
be careful what you wish for and what you are sacrificing
the best moments of your life to,
i’m sure these fuckers are not worth it.
