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! Good morning
