The Office Jerk

The Office Jerk lost all work-life balance,
Family nagged him and it didn't make sense.
He asked the boss for lighter duties,
Only to be rebuked for his impertinence.

The Office Jerk had no family to go back to,
So he decided to turn it into a virtue.
He pretends to work till very late hours,
And expects poor staff to do so too.

The Office Jerk in advance was told the decision,
and tasked with finding for it a suitable reason.
All the while keeping his responsibility in mind
For he also had to make a strong recommendation.

The Office Jerk got close to number one,
But he did not meet the promotion criterion.
So the HR was asked to re-engineer it
Till OJ came out as the most suited one.

The Office Jerk, his BOD* was to meet in London,
For the good old boardroom was not much fun.
Wondering whether he could tag along,
Was told that that was out of question.
* Board of Directors

The Office Jerk, in staff expenses he found a rise,
He figured out the reason after a few tries.
It was his FreqFlier boss' foreign jaunts,
This fact he was asked to carefully disguise.

The Office Jerk, once he went overseas,
To attend a seminar with exorbitant fees.
Learning, if any, is already gone, but
Thrilling are all-paid tour's sweet memories!

The Office Jerk, his computer literacy was low,
And yet, "Best laptop for me", he told them so;
And for operating the god-damned thing,
he must have a secretary in the tow!

The Office Jerk had this very funny notion,
He thought that hard work could get him elevation.
But he was unaware of management's worry:
Who will do their work if donkeys got promotion?

The Office Jerk when young he was told
To show deference to the experienced and the old;
Now old himself, OJ is dismayed to find
That the day belongs to the young and the bold!

The Office Jerk made a serious presentation,
Late in the afternoon, the board lacked concentration.
OJ was asked to make an executive summary,
and give it to the secretary for annotation.

The Office Jerk, his perforev# fell due,
The HR wanted a 360 degree view,
The boss didn't like him, staff despised him,
And the peers didn't give him what he thought was due.

The Office Jerk finally became number one,
Decided it was time to have frolic and fun,
So he charged around like bull in a china shop,
and had his entire staff on the run.

The Office Jerk, his boss was a bully
and treated OJ like an office coolie,
At last OJ tried to confront him
But it took just a growl to scare him fully.

The Office Jerk, finally got promotion,
Of his new role he had little notion.
So he decided to be at his formal best
and to always write a terse notation.

The Office Jerk, his promotion was due,
Aspirants were many but positions were few,
OJ dyed his hair and put on his best suit,
And yet why he failed, he is without a clue.

The Office Jerk, in work he was mired,
One find morning he got retired.
Now at home with no escape,
There too the chap is not much admired.

The Office Jerk, he just ran amuck,
Wanted to put in his papers and have no truck,
Couldn't find papers in the paperless office,
So had no choice but to go back to work.

The Office Jerk, may his tribe increase,
His employer wanted his salary to freeze.
He went out with a placard and a mike,
The employer just shrugged, so he went on a strike.
