Wednesday @ Work Poem: Career Mayday

October 14, 2009 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

One pilot

Sparse cabin crew

A full load of passengers.

…

Passengers idle time away waiting to board

Fight boredom in flight

Ignore the person sitting 2 inches away

Then at the end of the flight leap out of their seats

To stand in the aisle moving nowhere waiting to disembark.

…

At work

We need more pilots

Less baggage

More knowledge, skills, and gumption

To file our own flight plan

Navigate our own career

As work takes off

…

We can only fly into the future

We can see by looking ahead to our destination

Sitting in the captain’s seat

With our hands on the throttle.
