Profit

A worker exists:

Skim the top off their wages.

Said the CEO.

Efficiency

Work doesn’t get done.

The rich skip taxes: The bill.

No funds for upkeep.

DEI

“Taking ‘our’ jobs away!”

“They’re unemployed parasites!”

Make up your mind, jerks.

Frugality

If you don’t buy stuff,

“Economic terrorist!”

“Wasteful!” if you do.

Self-Care

Disposable you:

Can’t serve from an empty cup?

Worker turnover!

Promotions

“Work even harder!”

The boss grins, “It’s free labor.”

Unpaid overtime.

Training

“I want to move up!”

Perpetual crunch time says,

“We can’t afford it.”
