You Never Noticed
About Some Places I've Worked
Introduction
This is very true of my situation on Vocal now
A tongue-in-cheek piece about being unappreciated by employers. How many times have I handed in my notice and suddenly become an irreplaceable member of staff? It is quite amusing
The music is "The Invisible Man" by Queen

Ah yes I have had a similar feeling before! Can I read this on my podcast by chance?
This is one way to things off your chest. Good job.
when I was still in the workforce, there were so many times when I thought of that old country song, Take This Job and Shove It. I think your poem is quite a bit more politely put.
Ms - The best Poet in your Lot that should be pouted is you..! Jk
Brilliant!
Sentiments of a Poet❤️ Profound and Real....and also ❤️💯Great Closing! : Don't Care a Jot!
Oh this is very good, and very direct. Definitely more true of work culture nowadays. Great job mate x
Lol. This last lines. Lot of truth here, though. Well done.
I find this very relatable to jobs I've had in the past and then left. Well put - a wonderful bit of slam poetry and as ever, the rhymes are rock solid! :)
When I was young, I was always when my brothers got into trouble because I was the eldest and responsible for them
Omgggg, this felt like it was written for me, about me! It's sooooo relatable! I think many of us would be able to relate. Loved your poem!
At least someone thought you irreplaceable at some point. I don't recall that ever being the case with me, or even being much missed when gone.
Music video is great! Enjoying the poetry! Thank you😊💕❤️
Awesome and amazing slam poem!!! Loving it!!!❤️❤️💕
Sounds like my last job
I think many people can relate to this. Well done!
