“Overheard in the C-Suite” [by David Lehman]

Blue collar employees
Overheard in the C-Suite

“I can’t find someone
to drive a garbage truck
for ninety-five thousand dollars
in Denver
at the same time we’re up the wazoo
with chirping MBAs
you know round-faced cherubim
like Christmas tree decorations
willing to work for half that
if you can call it work.”
