An Ode To The Credit Manager

This past Labor Day recognized the American worker. Long over looked is the Credit Manager. So here is my tribute.

An Ode to the Credit Manager

Here’s to the lowly credit manager, a position that is rarely lauded
Though for all the work they do, they should be more often applauded.
It’s a job no one else wants to do
But they know how to do it better than you.
It’s not a job for the lazy
But after a while it’ll drive you crazy.

It’s a middle management position that carries a lot of responsibility
But when you come right down to it, success is an impossibility.
If you do collect all of the company’s money,
They wouldn’t need you any more, honey.
Instead they’ll drive you insane
Blaming you for all the balances that remain.

You are the Rodney Dangerfield of the management team
Getting no respect; to be heard you have to scream.
Senior management thinks you’re a clerk.
And the sales group thinks you’re a jerk.
While the customer is telling tall tales
That the check is really in the mail!

Still, you keep at it everyday, doing your best and making those calls
Listening to all of the complaints and breaking down all of the stalls
Because no matter what they say
The money you get goes into our pay.
You give the credit that’s due;
We’re depending on you!
