Look Who's Laughing Now...
63(Or Things We’d Like to Tell a Bad Boss on a Monday Morning!)
Look Who’s Laughing Now...
So you’re the one…the big one on the block…that we should be looking out for…
I have grown up now, Sir…and you’re not going to play that trick on me anymore.
For weeks now…I’ve documented your arrival times and how long you’ve been to lunch,
Though you say I’m not a team player…Top Brass won’t like this…I’ve got a hunch!
Oh…so now you want to talk a little bit about finally giving me a raise…
Take that raise and stick it…’Cause then you’ll want me to give you praise.
No…you’ve been pushing your weight around…even the most timid ones would agree…
This time I’m going for broke…I think the one that should have your job is…ME!
If it don’t work out…my resumes typed…I finally realized I can do better…
My attachment with the hours you’ve kept…will be in my resignation letter.
“No,” I’m not spiteful…and “No,” You haven’t done that much for me that I can recall…
In fact…playing all your political mind games…hasn’t helped me out one bit…at all!
“What’s that you say?” A new office…an assistant…or some paid time off…
HHHMMM…Mighty Attractive Offer…I’ve been wanting to play more golf!
On Second Thought…It was high time you shoveled poop for awhile…
How many people have you busted in rank…and did so with a smile.
“Oh, so you’re in “tight” with Upper Management”…that’s what you always say…
Let’s see...I’ve got a recording of you bad mouthing them…let me just press “PLAY”.
You see times are hard…they’re making cut backs…and throwing out the dead wood…
Seems that suggestion of mine you took credit for…that one they thought was so good…
My Memo Copy shows the date that I also sent it to the Chairman of the Board…
Boy, when he finds out it wasn’t really your idea…I’m willing to guess…He’ll be floored!
We can talk about this over an hour and ½ lunch…and Guess what…You’ll be paying...
Maybe next time…when someone asks for support…you’ll listen to what they are saying.
After I get back from lunch…I’ll make some calls…then head off to the golf course…
And leave my problems to your secretary…who knows how to run things at their worse.
So…I left all my paperwork for you to finish…don’t forget to have them done tonight…
I’ll be in about 9:30 am tomorrow to review them…and see if they are all done right.
What’s that you say…you have plans tonight…and you can not stay at work too late…
OHHH…Sorry to hear that…Guess all the plans you made tonight will have to wait.
How many times have you told me that…and now isn’t it ironic to know…
You either do as I say from this point on…or I’m afraid I’ll have to let you go!

This is good!! Oh, Tom Cornett should see this picture. He taught his dog to sit on their cat!
I loved it!
Candie V: Thanks...the pic was in my e-mail and inspired me. This pup's expression is hilarious. No kidding...some one actually trained their dog to this...now that's funny!
Ladybird: Gracious for the comment!
Ha ha ha, brings back bad (but a great) memory...my boss actually listened in and logged all my phone calls and left the info on the receptionist's desk. When I saw it, I left with all my files and left him hanging dry! Never felt better. :)
Hmmm...I guess I've been my own boss for too long, but I LOVE that picture!
Beth100: That was one psycho boss. Was that part of his Job Description...Spy on Employees? What was your boss supposed to be doing to assure that the company (that apparantly he had some type of management role with) was making a profit/and or producing? No...He figured his best service to the company was in spying. That is crazy.
Ivorwen: You mean you don't miss answering to a superior? Imagine that. Look at Beth 100's comment...and see all the fun your missing.
Thank you for both of "ya'lls" comments on this poem.
Oh, goody, you said it for me - actualy my daughter! And that poor kitty is getting ready to scratch the willy out of the perched puppydog! Cute!
frogyfish: happy to help...feel free to use any of this poem to help your daughter (if only just for a laugh)...should she currently be treated unfairly on the job! I don't know...looks like the pup has things...well under control! Thanks for readin' and commentin' on my poem, frogyfish...Humble regards, MPM
