The Manager
The manager has up and quit
Or maybe she’s been fired,
Yet someone thought she’d do the job
And fought to get her hired.
It’s hard to be the one in charge
When others may resent you
But there should be encouragement
From those who hired and sent you.
The reasons why she’s been let go
(Or chose to do the leaving)
Will not be shared and if they were
There might not be believing.
And so we must acknowledge that
Square one is where we’re heading.
The search begins anew - we never
Know what we are getting.
