Recession...

We used to think our office is sweet
We used to think no one is cheat
we used to think job is going well
We used to thin company has done well
We used to think we are insulated from recession
We used to think we will get good compensation
We used to think our job is secure
We used to think our culture is pure
But now I cant believe it is gone away
You cant believe how it feel today..

Its so funny we don't get hike this year
Its so funny we don't get bonus this year
Its so funny we don't get promotion this year

But I am not losing sleep any more
As it really doesn't matter to me
This has happened to every one here
This was the place once I wanted to be

Its so funny we don't get hike this year
Its so funny we don't get bonus this year
Its so funny we don't get promotion this year

We really worked very hard last year
The deal discussed was very clear
We had to perform well and after release is done
We will be promoted at the end of year

Its so funny we don't get hike this year
Its so funny we don't get bonus this year
Its so funny we don't get promotion this year

After this news I feel frustrated
The passion I put in work will not be compensated
I am feeling very low and heartbroken
My whole year reward has been eaten

Its so funny we don't get hike this year
Its so funny we don't get bonus this year
Its so funny we don't get promotion this year

But this is not the end of road
I hope things will improve very soon
There is always light at the end of tunnel
And every one will again feel on top of the moon
