From Modern Plights
The KPI
A love letter to your manager.
I don't care about your KPI
Your fake ass smile and your corporate lies
Talk ROI while the system is die
By EOD it’s circle back right
I'm done playing nice in this cheap necktie
All this fake alignment I'm not that guy
Yeah
Zoom call about a Zoom next week
30 Minutes just to touch base and speak
Let's take this offline yeah sure
Another calendar block I can't endure
QA failed 'cause nobody reads
SLA breach but it's planting seeds
CSAT tanked but it's early days
Everything's framed in corporate haze
Shit keeps breaking surprise surprise
Morons building an enterprise
I fix it fast they take the credit
And add a slide deck to forget it
I don't care about your KPI
Your fake ass smile in your corporate lies
Talk ROI while the system's fry
By EOD its great job guys
All these OKRs misaligned
But somehow it's my fault every time
Boss walks in like second coming
Brain on mute but the bullshit's humming
Strategic lens and holistic view
Bro the servers down, what you gonna do
Talking synergy talking scale
Meanwhile basic logic fails
Thinks he's sharp in his shiny suit
Whole damn team thinks he's a mute
Behind his back it's open season
Slack threads light up for a reason
Visionary, yeah that's rich
We just nod like sure thing bitch
I don't care about your KPI or your quick wins
And your battle cry
You want metrics here’s one for you
Zero fucks by quarter two
Smile in meetings dead inside
Polished decks full of polished lies
I'm tired of playing corporate dress up
Tired of pretending I'm impressed
All this culture and values pride
While we're buried in threads inside
One day I'm ghosting cashing out
No more standups no more doubt
When I make it big and I finally jump
Climb on this desk and take a dump
I don't care about your KPI
Your fake ass grind in your polished tie
Keep your OKRs keep your lies
I'm building something on the side
When I'm gone don't act surprised
You ignored the warning signs
Let's reconnect
Let's circle back
Let's align offline now
I'm out
