Meet the Quota Random Encounters (Ft. Raymy Krumrei)

I just got a paid position
With an interstellar team!
Though the travel’s far, the hours are
However long we deem

Yeah, the uniforms are ugly
Not much room for upward growth…
Sure, it’s got a couple quirks
And not a lot of perks…
We’re risking termination, but at least it’s honest work!

This isn’t the career path that I pictured
And my work-life balance isn’t looking good…
This Company has just one major stricture:
To find our funding faster than our predecessors could
(Meet the quota!)

They say trash is one man’s treasure
But that’s never much relief
When your teammates’ screams pervade your dreams
Each time you fall asleep

I could use some medication;
Get a therapist or shrink
But our contracts are coerced, and worker’s comp’s the worst!
We’ll picket ’till we kick it
And our corpse is reimbursed!
