Good Day

I understand how valuable your time.
Thank you for your prompt response.
An important decision has occurred.

This decision will affect your future.
Your future employment with this firm.

It is with deep regret we advise;
Domaine of Hell you are fired,

terminated, services no longer required.

A thorough review was conducted
-and -sadly despite your vast resources.
It became evident the gross net profit
margins-were- disastrous-unacceptable.

We do applaud you for your wretched
tools ; The Claws of Hell.

Including the Download Software;
Blame and Shame. Genius idea!

Applause-Applause-Applause
Truly time management effective.
I must confess, (I too) will miss
those lovely pity parties that ensued.

However, never, ever
did we foresee;

self-tortures cost.
The depth, despair,
ingested  alcohol
and drug infested
remedies.

The ledgers
of accountability reveal
a significant de-crease;

Creativity
Intelligence
Compassion
Understanding
(Sexual Performance)

Dear Domaine of Hell;
you’re long-term costs
are profoundly damaging.

Too high, morbidly stiff
a price for this firm
to consider, invest and pay.

It is my- responsibility
to advise you:

You are fired
terminated, services;
-No- longer-deemed required.

Please be sure to take
your assistants:
Mr. Bullshit and Ms.Pain-in-Ass
with you too.

Disregard your office keys,
we’re presently changing-
the locks-immediately-ASAP.

That is all. Good Day.

    Let me tell you, I am 100% against humor in poetry, but you proved me wrong, so so so wrong with this piece. I'm really glad you entered this.
    This was excellently crafted, and there's really nothing else I can say.
    Basically, this is one Hell of an awesome read.

    I love the cynicism and the sarcasm. Too bad we can't just fire the employers for the lousy jobs they do in being the bosses. LOL I love how you did not hold back a punch! Yes! Way to let the "stupidest" of the world have it. I hate the hellish jobs we must endure to make it financially! We do all the work, they get all the credit and money! The best to you in the contest dear heart!

    Always ♥

    Nicely done

    Very disturbingly good! You've captured the flavor of the corporate world to a tee. I like the phrase 'morbidly stiff'. It gives an image of the professional world. What are all the hyphens for? They were a little disruptive.
