Sonia is a really nice girl
If you meet her outside work
But in office she’s a sloth
And a pig-headed jerk
Now Management has had enough
They have grown too tired
Poor Sonia will be leaving us
For she is getting fired
An office’s not an easy place
So many rules apply
Sonia says they’re not for her
She’s the queen of Versailles
But Management disagrees
Their patience has expired
Sonia will not like the news
That she is getting fired
Everyone has their heads
Buried in a heap of files
While Sonia is always away
From her desk by miles
Sonia has sadly never had
A virtue they admired
Management are really firm
That she must soon be fired
If you ever needed gossip
She was the perfect source
That’s how everyone came to know
Boss is getting divorced
Now Sonia is the one
That everyone’s talking about
Management has had too much
She is getting kicked out
The only work she ever did
Was personal and her own
Like planning her next vacation
To Paris and Cologne
When Management came to know
What actually had transpired
The only choice they really had
Was quickly getting her fired
It’s not like she was never warned
One, two, three and four
Sonia laughed them all off
And many many more
Sonia took home sticky notes
And everything she desired
She won’t be laughing anymore
To learn that she’ll be fired
I’ll miss Sonia I’ll be honest
She was useless but entertaining
To hear her speak on her phone
The yarns that she’d be spinning
Sadly now she has to go
A new recruit has just been hired
I hope she decides to stay at home
Where she won’t be fired

I think Sonia is someone we’ve all likely encountered when we worked! Good write, Frank!

Delightful read! I miss Sonia already!! And so, I give you:
Sonia’s gone,
and here I sit,
wishing she were here just a bit
longer.
Sure, she wasn’t hard at work,
but she always had a way to perk
a dull day,
a lifeless hour,
with gossip’s charm
and laughter’s power.
She had a gift, a certain flair,
that made the office less a lair.
Yes, the rules,
she brushed them by,
called herself the Versailles high.
Management frowned
and shook their heads,
now her desk sits cold,
like lead.
The files remain,
the emails flow,
yet something’s missing,
don’t you know?
No whispered tales,
no crooked schemes,
just silence where she’d fuel our dreams…
Sonia’s gone,
her reign is through,
no Paris trips,
no stolen glue.
I’ll miss her spark,
her rebel ways,
Though work is calm,
the world’s less glazed.

Sad. While Sonia’s dismissal may well be the result of her own shortcomings—her professional output perhaps only justifying her salary—I’m still certain her departure will leave a void. It may seem immaterial at first, something that shouldn’t affect the company’s performance. But my lifelong professional experience tells a different story.I’ve witnessed instances where the departure of an underperforming colleague sparked positive change. But I’ve also seen cases where the absence of such a person—despite their inefficiency—chipped away at something intangible yet vital: the spirit of the team. And once that spirit faltered, decline followed, quietly and beyond what metrics could ever measure.Since then, I—and others around me—have sometimes chosen to step in silently to support a colleague who’s struggling or perhaps too easy-going. Sometimes we don’t. It depends on the person. Life doesn’t hand us clear answers; we build our wisdom slowly, step by step, learning which choices carry weight, even when they seem small.
