A Slack thread upon my screen, my status reads busy

The office is glacial, but at least it's not fizzy

The days blend together, the nights start at five

The people are burnt out but we're all still alive

When I'm trudging back homeward through synergy talk

I feel my OKR deep in my heart

And I'm drowning alone in a sea of Zoom calls

I've never confessed that I'm having withdrawals

But the stakeholders sleep and the roadmap grows tight

And I think about Slack threads that glow in the night

I miss the warm feeling of bandwidth to spare

The leverage of people who actually care

I miss even bitching about every constraint

I wish that our pivot had more stakeholder paint

In the office full of synergy I'm building with you

That's the reason I'm obsessed with my corporate debut

I'm drowning alone in a sea of Zoom calls

I've never confessed that I'm having withdrawals

But the stakeholders sleep and the roadmap grows tight

And I think about Slack threads that glow in the night

The OKRs and KPIs and the quarterly spree

But the best thing about work is you circling back to me

I'm drowning alone in a sea of Zoom calls

I've never confessed that I'm having withdrawals

But the stakeholders sleep and the roadmap grows tight

And I think about Slack threads that glow in the night

And I think about Slack threads that glow in the night

And I think about Slack threads that glow in the night
