The workplace, like the rest of the world we live in, is a mixture
of the good and bad, of nobility of purpose and unbridled ambition, of
supportive encouragement and backstabbing politics. Someone once told me that
if you get more than two people in a room, you have the ingredients for
conflict, politics and factions. Working in high-pressure workplaces only
intensifies this tendency for conflict (additionally fueled by intra-office
email).
To make sense of this, and sometimes to seek a resolution, I write
poems. From what I hear from friends and colleagues, this could become an
entire genre of poetry – the poetry of workplace conflict.
