It’s the Management (Free verse) by Dovina

Down the stairs we tramped floor by floor fifty to go just precaution because of some shaking. Loudspeaker says, “Go back! Earthquake over. All clear. That fire you see in the North Tower has no effect here.” Our boss man says, “Go down” so we continue remain in file choosing years of admiration over a loudspeaker. floor by floor forty to go facing upbound employees who call it a joke and say, “Go back.” Later we watch from blocks away workers for lesser bosses come tumbling down.

I made the boss man male because he is a man. I believe I could have written it with a woman boss, but that's not the way it was. Could you have written this story with either gender as protagonist or would you just let it pass if the boss were a woman?
