Master of Your Fate
If you quit, they will take your investments?
they think you’re past your prime?
They’re ruthless? Let’s do a reassessment.
Once upon a time…
Used to be, you would wake up full of pep
You’d race up the stairs and not miss a step.
Now your boss is obstinate, demanding?
Buddy, this is NOW!
Let’s see how he processes grandstanding.
Stage a cat’s meow.
Exaggerate, dress like an old grandpa;
Attract attention with a big hoopla.
Make this grand announcement: “Retirement’s
written on the wall,
due to unreasonable requirements.
How I hate shortfalls.
But could departure be an advantage?
Let’s talk about my severance package.”
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Daydreaming? You are running late again.
Master of your fate, get to work, my friend.
