After two years of selfless service, a
man
realized that he has not been promoted, no
transfer, no salary increase, no
commendation and that the company
is not
doing anything about it. So he decided
to walk up to his HR Manager one
morning and
after exchanging greetings, he told
the HR
Manager his observation.
The boss looked at him, laughed and asked
him to sit down saying; "My friend, you
have
not worked here for even one day."
The man was surprised but the
manager went on to explain:
MANAGER: How many days are there in
a
year?
MAN: 365 days and some times 366.
MANAGER: How many hours make up a day?
MAN: 24 hours.
MANAGER: How long do you work in a
day?
MAN: 8am to 4pm i.e. 8 hours a day.
MANAGER: So, what fraction of the day do
you work in hours?
MAN: (he did some arithmetic and said
8/24
hours i.e. 1/3) One-third.
MANAGER: That is nice, what is one- third of
366 days?
MAN: 122 (1/3 * 366).
MANAGER: Do you come to works on
weekends?
MAN: No sir. MANAGER: How many days are there in
a
year that are weekends?
MAN: 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays
equals
to 104 days. MANAGER: Thanks for that. If you
remove
104 days from 122 days, how many
do you
have now?
MAN: 18 days. MANAGER: OK! I do give you two
weeks sick
leave every year. Now remove that 14
days
from the 18 days left, how many days
do you have remaining?
MAN: 4 days.
MANAGER: Do you work on New Year
day?
MAN: No sir!
MANAGER: Do you come to work on workers
day?
MAN: No sir!
MANAGER: So, how many days are left?
MAN: Two days sir!
MANAGER: Do you work on Independence
day?
MAN: No sir!
MANAGER: Do you work on Christmas
day?
MAN: No sir! MANAGER: So, how many days left?
MAN: None sir!
MANAGER: So what do you need a
promotion
for? We should even be sacking you! One word for this manager (akpors)?
