How can I be booted out, on a day like this?
What does life have in its confers for me now?
Why today, after ten solid years of dedication?
It feels like a nightmare
Can I be woken up?
One minute ago, I gave my all,
And the next, I'm chased out like a stranger.
Ten years of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears,
All down the drain?
And for what?
So they can promote Janny, someone I mentored and helped grow, to Assistant Director?
It's a slap in the face.
I was there before Janny, six years before her.
I remembered the CEO praising me as a valuable asset.
But now, I'm nothing.
No regard for my years of toil,
no consideration for my dedication.
Just a cold, harsh dismissal.
And the worst part?
I am the only one who stayed,
While Jade
and even Kings left.
I am Legite,
Legite is I.
But now, it feels like they have sucked the life out of me and spat me out!
All for what?
I refused the feathers in my cap
could not raise it above the bar.
But I stayed loyal,
Never ran off,
No stuttering on the phone
No applications.
Just sweat and blood,
And now, I have been sent to the abyss.

Note the moral:
In the world of work, we are not just employees, we are the heartbeat of the organization. Employers crave individuals who embody passion, discipline, dedication, and excellence.
However, our value is not measured by the number of years we have spent, but by the worth we bring to the table. This worth not only benefits the company but also ourselves, even after we move on to new opportunities.
The moment we become complacent and laidback, our years of service mean nothing.
