Companies Need A Contented Workforce. Poem by David Boyce

Companies need a contented workforce.

We go through our daily routines,
Completing all our chores and tasks,
But many times we will be criticised,
Because the standard is just below what is asked.

Often work is rushed along,
Corners cut to fit the needs,
Times lowered to the minimum required,
Because of corporate greed.

The standard of work is often ignored,
Until a customer complains and shouts,
No matter what the problem may be,
The company will want you to sort it out.

If you are unhappy with the time given,
Complete the task in time and motion,
Because the money saved by rushing,
Is just a drop in the ocean.

Companies need a contented workforce,
Provided with best conditions and meal breaks,
Well-nourished and less fatigued each day,
Happier staff you will surely make.
