Why Indeed!
Why do I work day in day out
Toil through numbers, crashing
crisis to crisis, teetering on red
To present a black ebitda to
dissatisfied, greedy share hoarders
To pay the rent…to eat their crumbs

Oh, wait — those are the medium-standard crumbs! You’re only entitled to the low-standard crumbs. Silly me! Give those back. Here you go, dear…

You are one of the toiling masses, girl. Be grateful for the crumbs!

Oh I am grateful. It is just amazing to watch their unfettered greed in action, crushing anyone who dies not perform to their satisfaction, all the while sending out email blasts on how much we mean to them and how they appreciate the hard work we do. 😳

Loved the wordplay with share hoarders.
Had to look up “EBITDA.” I was educated and entertained.
Do any of the share hoarders follow your blog?

No. Not that I know of. They’re busy counting the numbers 😉
