“When you care enough”…..
lovely sales pitch
to guilt consumers
into purchasing
overpriced sentiments…
Pick it right…
Pack it tight…
Grabbing crowns to fill boxes
will find the overly conscientious
on the bottom of the totem pole.
Accuracy is a numbers game
others can fail if their nose
sniffs up the right tree.
“If you care enough”
goes unrewarded.

I was an order filler for Hallmark cards in the 70's. I had great accuracy and no customer complaints. One year I made one mistake that was found by the auditors and the next only two. My supervisor called me in to talk about my job performance and chastised me for making two mistakes. Of course there were a host of fillers making more than two errors per month, sometimes even more than that a week, but they never got read the riot act served to me. I didn't kiss...well you know what I mean.

I gained a lot of satisfaction when I haded my notice in from my last job, I'd been there thirty one years and four of us handed in out notices togethere.
We were fast and accurate, like you, but extremely underappreciated! So I know how you felt.

yowza, Susie.
I like your approach in this poem, it's gritty and makes a definite point.
