Coldplay's Viva la vida

Drowning in Slack threads, I raised my hand up high

Got promoted to Senior while my soul said goodbye

Amidst a hundred meetings, my name buzzed on the screen

I'm leveraging synergy in a spreadsheet dream

Yet the bandwidth grows deeper and the roadmap's unclear

And the stakeholders' feedback just fills me with fear

One EOD deadline is all that remains

In my heart as I circle back through the pain

Through the pivot of nighttime, alone in my chair

On a Zoom call that stretches through stagnant, dead air

I'm searching for meaning in my OKR

Following PowerPoint slides like they're guiding my star

Though the sprint eats my weekends, my commitment stays strong

To the vision statement printed on my badge all day long

After countless synergies buried in jargon so deep

I will knock on the door of the promotion I'll reap

I'll return to the office, to that cubicle throne

Where the coffee grows cold and I'm never alone

I will struggle and hustle through each status update

And my bandwidth will break but my smile won't abate

Though the Slack never ceases and the standups align

I'll keep grinding through meetings till the quarter's design

I will find my way back to the thing I adore

A full week with no meetings—oh, that's what I'm here for
