Industrious Employee

Busy as a bee
Sticky as a notepad
Ending at roadside.

Premium Memberworlds worst employee

company memos are flowing out
escaping like fireflies in July
overly communicative
no confidences now

leaking information
losing credibility and integrity
hoping for likeability
worlds worst employee

no confidentiality
lack of professionalism
she has put our company at risk
jeopardizes our future and her own

Premium MemberA Rave Endorsement for a New Employee

He is a quick learner, his brain is mighty.
Chet learns swiftly, and he is completely tidy.
He is not hasty, does not make irrational decisions.
Buying this story hook, line and sinker from his Uncle Missions.

Premium MemberNew Employee Has Used All of His Sick Days Already

The new employee calls in sick weekly.
On Monday this week.
On Tuesday last week.
On Wednesday the week before.




We wonder why he does not get into trouble.
Until we hear him call the boss
“Uncle Bradley”

The Bereaved Employee

Quick to forget the Off-Duty Grant
That makes bosses not rant
Easily treating An Observer,
To a levity of A Grieving Server
All stops are boldly pulled out
Like irritable errors struck out,
All restrictions kicked aside
Or left to their time bide!

It’s a being who has glimpsed obligations 
Vain Boss would never understand,
Their delayed handling with implications
He might at last not withstand.
One doesn’t tears check for a Great Symbol
While on Earth virtuous and humble;   
He who had to part with a noble life,
Forthwith ending a worthy strife …

Liable to be admonished
And sometimes stiffly punished
For a daring of The Bottlenecks 
That a good file wrecks 
Is the Employee in bereaved time
Not bothered that office clocks also chime.

The Employee

In my little corner of earth
I shall work and toil
But at the bell, my day is done
I am no longer loyal.
Trade in my chains for currency
For as long as I can fend
But Again, I will be in bondage
When the next work week begins

And so it goes
On and on
And on and on
Until I am old and frail
And no one will ever know
What stories I had to tell
The world will keep going
As will I, but with regret
That I didn't choose my own path
And instead followed the rest

keep your tags, your plans, your work, your rules,
I need them not.
Cause when I leave,
I will be free,
This slave will not be caught

Premium MemberWork: A Top Employee

If you’re looking for a guy approachably honest, 
A man who will stand by his word,
If you want a guy who prefers to be happy, 
And won’t brag about how much he’s earned,

Treats colleagues at work with respect and regard, 
Isn’t selfish or arrogant or mean,
Who lives for the good things enjoyed in our life, 
Is proud to be healthy and clean,

Then I know a guy who fits in this mould, 
He’s confident and clever and fun,
He can think of a solution for every small issue, 
He’ll finish what he has begun,

He’s a man I know well, dependable and driven, 
He’d be a valued and true employee,
He’d work with the team achieving the goals, 
And his name, well hello, he is me.

Premium MemberDownbeats Are Loud But Upbeats Win

first impression was great.
wonderful smile, enthusiastic,
glad to be hired, upbeat and positive.

second impression, more of the same.
fantastically caring, kind. Gets along with
all of the like-minded staff members.

third impression – friendly, honest, willing to
pitch in and do without much direction.

rumors swirled. She’s uppity; she thinks she
is all that; she is too confident.  
TOO confident?  I could not stop laughing.

When she thanked me for standing up
to the nay-sayers, I knew I was right.

rumors died a natural death of course
as there are more upbeats here than
downbeats.

because the downbeats are the loudest
 does not mean they win.

Sick Employee Explaining To His Friend His Common Cold

THE COMMON COLD

Have you ever felt like you were going to die?
And you knew good and well the reason why;
and as you got sicker and sicker;
and the heavy gloom grew thicker and thicker,
it began to seem like the very end,
so I decided to call my very best friend.
And when I called him I told him
"I think that I will never see
anything again as lovely as a tree;"
and he sighed because
he himself was feeling a little sad;
and he said "Cheer up, friend, 
it can't be that bad!"
And I told him for sure, for sure it was.
But I got no sympathy
as an injured person does;
and I started to feel bent out of shape
and even mad. E-gad!
And I began to think that that friend of mine
was a bit of a cad.
And then suddenly my temperature broke;
and I cracked another one
of my world famous jokes;
and my friend laughed and snickered and told me
he thought it was one of my finest;
and I said no it wasn't
and thanked him for his kindness;
and then when I hung up my phone, 
I smiled, sat down and knew that I would live forever,
because a dying person never has enough energy
to be that clever.

Premium MemberBad Employee

His mischief and mishaps 
all becoming a frequent accident,
only the quest for a selfish satisfaction 
makes him prudent.
Research on loopholes and hidden corners 
he stays ardent
busier than all others 
but a broad day light rodent.
For almost every fulfilled task, 
there is a dent
no matter his might, 
the general takes his orders from the president.
The day power is restored 
to reveal an incident
he’ll be expelled without a second thought 
like a notorious student.

Lousy Employee

I missed the meeting, again.
‘It was important’ -
My manager rebukes me often;
But if I knew it was
I would promulgate to my whole family
In its entirety: Attend!
No questions asked!

Sexual Employee

Sexual Employee

It clocked in at 7:02 am
No orifice in sight
Placed the time card in a slot
Made its way to a metallic table
Blank white paper on the top
#2 lead pencil, covered yellow, appeared 
One hour later the employee began to draw
At the center of the paper starting at point “A”
A thin line was drawn from there to point “B’ on the page
Horizontal, naturally
Below that, one hour later, another line was formed
Starting at point “C” 
It too was a thin line drawn and continued on to point “D”
Horizontally, of course (the two lines never intersected)
Vertical lines could only be drawn on Fridays
Diagonals were not permitted
They were perverse and went against the laws of nature
The employee had no discernible features worth mentioning
But, it does come to work each day though
With two buttons built or installed into its side 
It rolled over to the clock at 4:02 pm and punched out
Placed the time card in a designated slot and left
Went home with the push buttons still installed
One red.  One green.  Always the same
We never questioned
It is not our job
