As An Employee

 As an employee, I have learned to smile. I've learned how to keep a smile even when you don't feel like smiling. Employees are important. They make or break the job. There are bad employees. There are so many good ones as well. But no one knows what the employee does when they aren't an employee. They know that they are an employee that smiles a lot. They are an employee that offers a helping hand. In everyone else's world, that person is just an employee. They aren't treated as the mother, sister, lover that they are. They are an employee that clocks in and out and smiles a lot. They are someone who fills a slot of time in other people's world. Nobody knows about the employee's passions. Nobody knows how long their commute is. Nobody asks if they are having a great day. They are only an employee. They have learned to just smile.
