She Grew Tired of Being Yelled At At Work

She’d tired of being yelled at, At work throughout the day, She’d tired of the boss never listening, To the ideas she had to say. You see, her opinions were fine, and Her thoughts were perfectly sound, Actually her ideas for improvement, Were bordering on profound, But her boss ignored them, he berated, And yelled her to the floor, And she had simply given up, Her thoughts walking out the door. She’d tired of not having a voice, She decided to simply stop, She decided to be a mannequin, Be the object in the shop.

Nice poem with deep meaning. Nobody deserves to be treated in such a manner and it is best to allow people to contribute to the cause they work for or else they become demotivated!

We must've had the same boss, at some point. Well penned.
