Quality Assurance Audit

Welcome to your staff review
Where you learn how we really think of you
We've pulled calls and we can't relate
To all your bathroom breaks, why don't you demonstrate
Calls per minute, call per day
Numerical breakdown, don't delay
Crunch the time you spend on useless shit
This is your quality assurance audit
Excuse me but I'm unprepared
I lack the ability to be self aware
I've reduced my breaks and water drinking I swear
The thought of letting you down is almost too much to bear
Calls per minute, call per day
Clerical breakdown, don't delay
Crunch the time you spend on useless shit
This is your quality assurance audit
Well I love this job
Well we love you
An endless abyss of paid time off, inter office communicators, staff lunches, unpaid time off, and all sorts of other very lovely things. But hey, the benefits are great and the references? They can't be beat. If I could marry this job I would, if I could fuck this job I would, but I can't. Instead I sit here staring at a cubicle wall under fluorescent lights wondering why. Wondering why and wondering how. How did I get here.
I worship this job
And we worship you

Cog in the Grind

Out of breath again
As I jump right out of bed
Making for the bus stop
For another slice of bread
Receive the order
Don’t think too hard now
The compensation is just days away
Based on percentages
You should be glad to be here
It’s hard to quit
While you watch jobs all disappear
No independence
No roof or shelter
No self esteem left, you’ll earn your shame
Ambition
Precision
Dynamic
Endeavour
I’m scared I’ll be at this job forever
You’re a real good guy man
Yeah they think you’re funny
There’s plenty more work
But they can’t give you more money
Pick up those knees
Cog in the grind
And don’t forget: “out of sight, out of mind”
Give me a break
And I’ll bend it til it’s broken
Give me the grease
I’m the wheel that has spoken
I do more here
Than anyone else
To keep the wheel spinning, that’s what I tell myself
Efficient
Consistent
Your performance is great
I’m starting to become everything that I hate
Moxie
Gumption
Give us your get up and go!
This is the only thing to do I know
I couldn’t get another one if I tried
Too uneducated
And far too under-qualified
So I just go home to dinner
And maybe an ice cold beer
So I can feel like a winner
And for a moment
I’ll slip outta here

Brain Bent Calgary, Alberta
Brain Bent is a tightly-wound machine of jagged post-punk menace, filtered through the banality of corporate jargon and powered by late-stage capitalist dread.
