I bit my tongue as long as I could but there came a point I had to blurt out "we can delegate tasks but not responsibility". 😒

Who has more power, a consultant or a janitor? Surely, the consultant has more power, right? Wrong. The janitor does!

Verantwortung
Freiwillig nehmen – oder doch Macht geben? Kein Plan.
Innerlich bin ich
’n Gnom.
Null Selbstvertrauen – aber doch genug
zum Klauen.
Nur von Toten
soll Mann stehen.
Und am besten
auch noch untergehen. Will ich sterben?
Oder ewig leben?
Jetzt grad nicht.
Wo isst der Wicht?
Was für ein Scheißwort. „Kleine Leute“ –
doch am Steuer.
Für die richtige Idee sterb ich gern.
Wenn wir nur schon
in der Zukunft wär’n.
