Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to comment on the apparent conflict between the practice of treating people as commodities on the one hand, and recognising their personal uniqueness and high value on the other. Design/methodology/approach - Satirical poem. Findings - Employees risk being treated simply as depersonalised units of productive value. Originality/value - Points to the attitude of regarding people indifferently at work.
