The Burning Office

[u/WrightII]

At work today, I went into our break room to discover a Fire building. It must have started from the fliers and banners of promotion, and as it swelled I escaped.

As I looked up at my office slowly razed, the people seem unbothered. I cry:

“Fire, danger!, run.”

And not knowing what any of that means they continued on.

“If you all come out here right now I’ll hire you to my board as CTOs CFOs and CEOs”

Suddenly they came bellowing out, throwing themselves onto the floor at my feet. Asking when they can start, and what the salary and benefits were.

I regrettingly revealed that I had no great fortune to give them, and no corner offices. That they were all free to be the CEOs of their own business.

My old office collapsed, and we all flew out like the dust.
