The following two poems reflect the angst of working in a bad job, a dysfunctional employer-employee relationship. It can stress you out, depress you, and make you cry. Sometimes, the only act that can save you is sending your resume to another potential employer, because that’s what gives you hope and makes you feel a sense of control over your own destiny.

Living Inside a Top
I’m not leaving.
But my resume is up to date.
I’m just experiencing culture shock.
In a culture of oneupsmanship.
But I’m not one of those who wash out.
And go on to bigger and better things.
Reasonable hours: The average engineer works 56 a week.
And makes 87 thousand dollars a year.
And the payscale is competitive.
With the third world.
And fair.
To those rewarded with a cut.
I’m proud to be one of the winners hired.
Then told what not to do.
Proud to be developing a great product.
With second-class quality standards.
Proud of my accomplishments.
Overcoming conjured-up crises.
Proud to be one of the team.
That can’t get together on anything.
I’m not leaving.
But my resume is up to date.
A Tribute to Lorelai
I bet you thought she didn’t exist,
Laura’s nemesis.
I swear, I’ve met her.
I’ve stared her in the eye,
And she is death.
She spins a careful web.
She is never wrong.
Artful, she lures the victim.
Graceful, she quaffs his breath.
He knows not how nor why.
The more he fights, the worse his bind.
He is a weeping husk.
This is, to her, normality.
Life is a myth.
Real is conformance and pow’r.
Yet I pray Mia will take me in,
That I might live again.
Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at createimpactquickly maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.
Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at learnandrefine reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.
Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at startnextphase kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to startwithpurposefulsteps earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.
Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to buildactionableprogress kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.
Good website! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I’m wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your feed which must do the trick! Have a nice day!
Thank you, I’ve recently been looking for info approximately this topic for ages and yours is the best I have discovered so far. But, what about the bottom line? Are you sure in regards to the source?

Изучить аспект более тщательно – кодировании sit
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at learnandadvancefaster kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
Felt like the post had been edited rather than just drafted and published, and a stop at createprogressmapping suggested the same care across the site, the difference between edited and unedited content is enormous for the reader and this site has clearly invested in the editing pass that most blogs skip entirely which really does show up.
Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at buildyournextmove did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.
hello!,I like your writing so much! share we communicate more about your article on AOL? I require a specialist on this area to solve my problem. May be that’s you! Looking forward to see you.
This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at buildforwardthinking suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at discovercreativegrowth carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at holdax extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at seolift extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.
Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at jebbird added even more depth, you can feel the experience behind every line which is something only writers who have been at this for a while can pull off with this level of grace.

Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over createimpactsteps the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.
A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at exploreideaswithpurpose maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.
Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at bulkingbayou carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.
Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at buildsustainableprogress suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.
