Goodbye Job

Everything about you
was bad for me
your chaotic
all-hour demands
passive aggression
and guilt trips
were claustrophobic,
tyrannical.

The token gift cards
in lieu of legitimate
employment benefits
you handed out
so magnanimously
baffled and insulted
your constant cursing
and latent sexism, icing on the cake.

I learned a lot
not from being taught
but forced
to blindly stumble
day-to-day
and cover for the string
of resignations and firings
you neglected to prepare for.

You paid well I guess
but I figured out
over three protracted
painful years
peace of mind is greater
than bank balance.
I'll miss nothing
least of all your ineptitude with Adobe.
