So I went to ask my boss.
Her door was open,
so I walked right in.
She looked up from the paperwork
on her desk.
“What’s up?
she asked,
as she motioned for me to sit.
“What’s up is my frustration,”
I replied.
“I try to do a good job,
but problems come up,
some of which
could have been prevented.
But when I talk to others
all I hear is:
They don’t want to hear about problems.
They only want good news.
They don’t like people who rock the boat.
And me, I’m trying to figure out
who this ‘THEY’ is!
“You’re my boss –
Are you one of ‘them’?
Are you responsible?”
