Slack and Snacks

Nine to six in my pixel cage Corporate gladiator on the minimum wage Boss says “teamwork!” — means more Zoom rage Livin’ in an emoji-and-GIF-filled age Slack and snacks, that’s my day-to-day Typing “LOL” so they think I’m okay Slack and snacks, man, we’re all just prey In this hustle culture modern ballet Coworkers brag about their vegan bowls Posting lunchtime pics like they’re influencers’ goals But I’m counting pennies, keepin’ it real With stale bread crusts as my gourmet meal Sixty folks huddled, nukin’ fish filets Scent of sadness in the office hallways Dreaming big dreams while we rot away Chasin’ likes and followers to feel okay Slack and snacks, that’s my day-to-day Typing “LOL” so they think I’m okay Slack and snacks, man, we’re all just prey In this hustle culture modern ballet “Hey team, just circle back on that synergy synergy synergy… Now please enjoy this mindful meditation app we bought instead of giving you a raise.”
