Working Mom

Merissa

My mom, ever the hard worker,

Travels, lifts, orders, breaks her

Back for a company that she 

Loves, but they ignore, forget,

Choose someone else to do a 

Job she's way better at, and get

Paid more than she ever will,

Yet she continues to work,

Slave, carry on, for the place

That leaves her behind.

    Marissa, you said it well, and it happens to so many people.

    Hi Marissa, Please, if you wish, read this. Yes, it is one of mine, and I don’t extend general invitations to read my stuff, but in this case it is relevant:

    Good write Merissa, and unfortunately true.
    One little (well medium sized) friendly place of work nearly went on strike, over being messed about. But they didn't - they couldn't really. Might have got the sack.
