If You Die At Work
If you die at work
An email will be sent
If they know you
You are referred to as beloved
I too want to beloved
I wonder, who do I have to know to be beloved?
I too want a work e-mail celebrating my life!
We are never e-mailed if an employee quits or is fired
I used to think that the end of a relationship was not like a death
It did not mean the person was dead – there was still a chance
To see that person – maybe – one day in the future
Just like an Adele breakup song – bittersweet – but very very possible
But it is like a death – just like someone quitting or being fired
Where is the e-mail?
Once in a great while, I will see an ex-employee at a Burger-Fi or a Wawa
And I will tell them -- they are beloved.
