A Better Tomorrow
I left a job that I had much enjoyed
To take a new position with a firm
That promised me that I would be employed
With higher pay and bonuses each term.
The job required traveling to meet
With clients and give technical support
For product updates; visits I’d repeat
Each quarter and then turn in my report.
Since Covid I have done this on my phone,
Which worked so well that now they’ve said to me
That I’m laid off—that some much cheaper drone
Can do my job from Washington, D.C.
I’m down, of course, but could this somehow be
A door to some new opportunity?
