Not Like Us.
That guy pushed the boundaries and poked the bear.
He created trouble.
He verged on disrespectful to the bosses.
He spoke up at meetings when the rest of us knew better.
He questioned some of the decisions that we’d learned not to.
We never knew how he got away with it.
Sometimes we felt uncomfortable at how frank he was about this place.
He was too outspoken.
Predictably, it all caught up with him eventually.
He’s not here any more.
He brought it on himself.
If he’d only kept his mouth shut he’d still be here.
Like us.
