Fired

Fired I hand in my card pass and locker key.I pack my personal possessions in a box.I mumble my good-byes.I rub away my tears and pretend to smile.I need to pray but the words won't come.

A Difficult Boss

A Difficult Boss What can I do?Too much is expected of me.Good is never good enough.I cry on the way to work,makeup ruined before I get there.My boss rages, unjustified.When I speak softly,Iím told to be less timid.When I speak up,I'm told I'm too aggressive.

Workplace Hazard

Workplace Hazard I dread the workday. Every day I struggle to keep peace with a difficult coworker. When I work with this personI feel my sense of self-worth diminish.I feel disrespected and unheard.

Job Over

Job Over We never saw it coming.He opened up his paycheck.Pink slip.Laid off.Shocked, we held each other.Nine months later, savings gone.A house we love, we must leave.Stack of billswe can't pay.I tell myself I can't do this.Falling to my knees, I sob.I need You more than ever;with You, I can face this.
