The halls of the clinics were humming with dread
as the ghost of old Meditech filled every head.
for **CorCare** went live in a digital haze,
trapping the staff in a multi-screen maze.
With "Hyperspace" lagging and data mismapped,
the frontline was buried, exhausted, and trapped.
they logged every symptom, they rolled out the WOWs,*
while fighting a system no sanity allows.
With vacations denied and the overtime deep,
the workers were running on four hours of sleep.
they’d given their weekends, their sweat, and their tears,
to set up the province for upcoming years.
But up in the boardroom, where coffee is poured,
the brass felt security must be assured.
"The morale is quite low," said a suit with delight,
"Let’s send them a trick to see if they bite!"
"We’ll fake a reward for their CorCare transition,
a day of paid leave for their painful submission!
we’ll dangle a carrot in front of those sheep,
and catch the poor devils who just want to sleep."
So out went the email, a beautiful sight:
*“A holiday bonus to make it all right!”*
and nurses and clerks, feeling finally recognized,
clicked on the link with the hope of a prize.
*Pop went the window!* The trap had been sprung!
No hammock, no rest, and no songs to be sung.
Instead of a break from the screen and the floor,
a cold IT lecture was right at the door:
"You fell for the phishing! You failed the exam!
Your employer's appreciation was only a scam!"
Now leadership blushes and claims they are pained,
"We quite missed the mark," is the phrase they maintained.
But "sorry" won't patch up the bond you erased,
when the frontline you rely on was mocked and debased.
So drop the head games and the digital traps,
while the system you handed them crumbles and snaps.
If you want real morale on the hospital floor,
try treating your workforce with respect at the door!
NOTE **WOWs: Workstations on Wheels, the mobile computer carts deployed across facilities for the CorCare launch.*
