Some workplace haiku to start your week #haikuatwork

Lately, the news has been so grim, with elections, and overtime rules, and data breaches, and federal agencies that over-step and over-reach. I figured, why not start the holiday week with some levity.

Cleveland’s Fox 8 recently published a list of workplace haiku. Here are some of my favorites:

Office thermostat

Why do you hate me so much?

I’m freakin’ freezing 

My biggest weakness

Why would you even ask that?

Nobody’s perfect

Used corporate card

To buy beer and Pokémon

Does that count as fraud? 

Tweeted those pictures

Interview begins at 2

Can I delete them? 

Reading those inspired me to write a few of my own.

Workplace harassment

HR ignored her for months

We have to pay, big!

Email from PayPal

Time to update my account

What is ransomware?

HR’s big headache?

An hour here, hour there

Intermittent leave

Exempt / non-exempt?

We owe unpaid overtime

Class lawsuit; oh crap!
