Light Hearted Look at HR


After 2 years of dedicated service, I realized that I had not been promoted, no salary increment, no commendation.

So I decided to walk up to my HR Manager. The manager looked at me, smiled and asked me to sit down saying: "My friend you have not worked here for even a single day."

 

I was shocked to hear this !!!, but the manager went on to explain, and here's the conversation that took place.

 

Manager: How many days are there in a year?

Me: 365 days and sometimes 366.

 

Manager: How many hours make up a day?

Me: 24 Hours.

 

Manager: How long do u work in a day?

Me: 10am to 6pm

(i.e 8 hours a day.)

 

Manager: So, what fraction of the day do u work in hours?

Me: 8/24

i.e 1/3 (one third).

 

Manager: This is nice of u! what is 1/3rd of 366 days?

Me: 122

(1/3 x 366=122 days)

 

Manager: Do u come to work on weekends?

Me: No sir.

 

Manager: How many days are there in a year that are weekends?

Me: 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to 104 days.

 

Manager: Thanks for that. If u remove 104 days from 122 days. how many days

do u now have?

Me: 18 days.

 

Manager: I do give u 2 weeks sick leave every year. Now remove that 14 days from the 18 days left. How many days do u have remaining?

Me: 4 days.

 

Manager: Do u work on Republic Day?

Me: No sir!

 

Manager: Do u come to work on Independance Day?

Me: No sir!

 

Manager: So how many days r left?

Me: 2 days Sir!

 

Manager: Do u come to work on New Years Day?

Me: No sir!

 

Manager: So how many days r left?

Me: 1 day sir!

 

Manager: Do u work on Diwali ?

Me: No Sir!

 

Manager: So how many days are left?

Me: None Sir!

 

Manager: So what r u claiming?

Me: I have understood, Sir. I did not realize that I was being paid for not working for the last 2 years!!!

 

Moral - NEVER GO TO HR FOR HELP!!!

(HR-HIGH RISK.)

.

 

So, my friend, how many days do YOU work ?
