Laying Off
The word is out
They are going to lay off
Just a rumour
Who knows how rumours start?
It spreads from hand to hand
Sticky hands
Old hands know the drill
The sidewards glance
Supervisors going around with lists
Ticking off writing in
I keep your head down
Cross my legs and wait ‘till smoko

Having been on both sides of this traumatic divide… ah yes
I remember it well. It can be a painful experience being on the
list and a wounding experience making and implementing it.

Thanks for your comments. I too have been on both sides and that is, I believe, the very reason we should be writing about it.
