New Employee Orientation Haiku
by Maury Levine

Welcome to your job
You'll work here for a long time 
Until you're burned out 

We have flex schedules
Nights and weekends are required 
Flex for us not you 

Running late to work 
Call your supervisor so 
They can berate you 

Employee parking 
Is located down the street 
Next to the crack house 

Benefits offered
Are medical and dental 
But you can't afford 

Casual Friday 
Wear fun groovy t-shirts with
Company logo 

Fourteen days a year
We'll give you for vacation 
Unless we're busy 

We have fun at work 
A committee makes us play 
Mandatory games 

A fun thing we do 
Is have a contest for the 
Most overtime worked 

The employee gym
Is only for exercise 
Don't have sex in there 

Employee break room 
Is for eating food only 
Also no sex there

Get a promotion by
Working hard and waiting for 
Coworker to die 

Your job description 
Be micromanaged by a
Narcissistic dick

Please don't quit this job 
There's pizza in the break room 
Please please please don't quit
