Middle class though I am, I cannot heave
Self-aggrandizement into my mouth. I love mine employment
According to my salary; no more nor less.
Good my supervisor,
You have hired me, onboarded me me, train’d me; I
Return my duties back as are right fit,
Obey you, support you, and most respect you.
Why have my colleagues work-life balance, if they say
They love you all? Haply, when I shall retire,
That shareholder whose value must make my payout shall carry
Half my IRA with him, half my care and duty.
Sure I shall never strive like my coworkers,
To love my manager all.
