Hostage In An Office

When a department wants to get rid of a worker, The processes used can be slow, Transferring to a place where they will be moot, Ignoring everything that they know, Where they exist, day by day, in an office of work, Where their job is not even defined, In an office, where they sit every day of their life, Until they decide to resign, Because they’re never included, never valued, Their case is never assessed, They are simply bound to watching a screen, Pushed to becoming depressed, And as they sit watching their life pass them by, They see their career has been robbed, Of all of the skill, fun and scholar they were, Of the good they once were at their job.

Very sad indeed.... No one deserves his career to be treated that way.
