Come and listen to a story ‘bout a man named Jed,
A poor college kid, barely kept his kitty fed.
But then one day he was talking to a ‘cruiter,
Who said, “they pay big bucks if ya work on a computer...”<br>
Windows, that is... PC’s... hard drives...
Well, the first thing ya know ol’ Jed’s an engineer.
The kinfolk said “Jed, move away from here.”<br>They said “See-attle is the place ya oughta be”,
So he bought a Volvo wagon and he moved to King County...
Microsoft, that is... software... latte’s...
On his first day at work, they stuck him in a cube.
Fed him jelly donuts and they sat him at a tube.
They said “your project’s late, but we know just what to do.
Instead of 40 hours, we’ll work you 52!”<br>
OT, that is... unpaid... mandatory...
Well, the weeks rolled by and things were looking bad.
Schedules started slipping and some managers were mad.
They called another meeting and decided on a fix.
The answer was quite simple... “We’ll work him sixty-six!”<br>
Tired, that is... stressed out... ulcers...
Months turned to years and his hair was turning grey.
Jed worked very hard while his life, it slipped away.
Waiting to retire when he got to 64,
Instead he got an email: ‘here’s your hat and there’s the door.’<br>
Laid off, that is... down-sized... unemployed...
Now the moral of the story is to listen what you’re told,
Companies will use you and discard you when you’re old.
So gather up your friends and start an independent firm,
Beat the competition, watch the sons-a- !@$%&n..c squirm.
Billionaires, that is... Bill Gates... Paul Allen... buy-outs.
Y’all come back now... ya hear’?
