The corporate
way
Beverly Hillbillies
Come and listen
to a story 'bout a man named Jed,
A poor college
kid, barely kept his family fed,
But then one
day he talked to a recruiter,
Who said "They'll
pay ya big bucks if ya work on a computer",
CADD that
is ... CRT's ... Microstation;
Well the first
thing ya know ol' Jed's an Engineer,
he kinfolk
said "Jed move away from here",
They said
"Dallas, Texas is the place ya oughta be",
So he drove
until he felt the heat and humidity,
Summer that
is ... no shade ... even your toenails sweat;
On his first
day at work they stuck him in a cube,
Fed him a
donut and 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 fifty-two!"
Overtime that
is ... Unpaid ... Mandatory
The weeks rolled
by and things were looking bad,
Some schedules
got slipped and the boss was gettin' mad,
They called
another meeting and decided on a fix,
The answer
was simple, "We'll work him sixty-six"
Tired that
is ... Stressed out ... No social life
Months turned
into years and his hair was turning gray,
Jed worked
hard while his life slipped away,
Waiting to
retire when he turned sixty-four,
Instead he
got called in and escorted out the door,
Laid-off that
is ... Downsized ... Unemployed.
Ya'll come
back as a contractor now, Ya hear?
