I have a Schrodinger's job, both employed and not
Existing liminal-ly between fortune and rot
This non-space of work (in which I currently lurk)
For a transgression that, apparently, cannot be forgot
The stress and anxiety have built up in me
My employment purpose I can no longer see
Am I to be fired? Or my presence desired?
And why wasn’t this matter dealt with discreetly?
Despite these questions asked to HR
I only received several non-answers
Leaving my brain unable to explain
Why they’ve stuck a boot up my arse
And emotionally exploring this in-between space
I must admit, I feel unequivocally disgraced
As I’ve tried my best (at the cost of my rest)
And angry at the treatment received thus far
For to think this all started with the posting of a GIF
Something used to connect to my colleagues with
Has resulted in my boss feeling insulted
Demanding punishment forthwith
I’m sure looking back we won’t help but laugh
At how the organisation's treatment of staff
Encouraged disillusion for something intended for amusement
But right now I feel like crying in the bath
