Borg no longer
Today is my last day at the Empire. I dare not name this empire for fear of its wrath, but I trust many of you will know of whom I speak.
It was not voluntary, yet I welcome it. It comforts me that my time here was well spent, my efforts the greatest they’ve been. However, the result of those efforts, as always, has been subject to the approval of a superior authority. It seems this authority chose another direction. No matter. The result has given me the opportunity to see this organization for its true self, as I once feared it could be. Set aside the festive manner in which employees are… dare I say “celebrated”, and you will then see that the silent force behind closed doors has concern only for its continued exponential growth.
I do not fault it, were I in its shoes I might do the same, but I do not wish to enlist myself as a cog in the wheel of the machine in this manner any longer. I have learned its secrets, and I will progress with the lessons the experience has taught me.
In a few hours I will walk through the doors for the last time. Measures have been taken to ensure my departure is discreet, so I trust that as those doors close behind me, my presence here will fade, victim to the enzymes that break down and devour such unwanted things. My time has come, and though a part of me bears disappointment that I was cast aside so calously, I appreciate that this distasteful action was made without fuss.
Farewell.
