In office halls, where shadows play,
They giveth, and they taketh away.
The pay that never quite was there,
A corporate culture thin as air.
Unclean cubes with hair and stains,
Food unhealthy, empty gains.
One-ply paper, a painful plight,
Coffee low-grade, left in sight.
Leadership from afar, unseen,
Micromanaged through a screen.
Threats of layoffs, whispers, fears,
PIPs that bring reluctant tears.
In this return, a hollow call,
They giveth little, taketh all.
Back in the day when I smoked a J,
Corporate culture had its own way.
Suits and ties in a rigid dance,
Climbing ladders with every chance.
Cubicles lined in endless rows,
Ambitions high, but spirits low.
Nine to five in a concrete maze,
Chasing dreams in a foggy haze.
Boardroom meetings, deals on the line,
Power lunches with vintage wine.
Behind closed doors, the whispers flew,
Decisions made by just a few.
Now I think of those days gone by,
The smoky clouds and the starry sky.
A world where rules were set in stone,
Yet we found ways to make it our own.
In the haze of a midday break,
We’d laugh at the chances we dared to take.
Corporate culture, so prim and gray,
But we found color in our own way.
This is some visionary sh-t
It was a bad time for everyone, Rambo. It’s all in the past now.
He who smelteth, dealteth
