Never go to HR for Help
After 2 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 any thing about it. So he decided to walk up to His HR Manager one morning and after exchanging greetings, he told his 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 to hear this, 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 of you! What is one-third of 366 days?
Man:- 122 (1/3x366 = 122 in days)
Manager:- Do you come to work 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 days do you now have?
Man:- 18 days.
Manager:- OK! I do give you 2 weeks sick leave every year. Now remove that14 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:- 2 days sir!
Manager:- Do you come to work on the (National holiday )?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?
Man:- 1 day sir!
Manager:- Do you work on Christmas day?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?
Man:- None sir!
Manager:- So, what are you claiming?
Man:- I have understood, Sir. I did not realize that I was stealing Company money all these days.
Moral of the story - NEVER GO TO HR FOR HELP!!!
HR = HIGH RISK
the company hired them to save money :-/
Some calulation problem here.
Just reshuffle 2 HR Manager ques and chk out this poor person works a TON...
put 1/3 rd ques. before the weekend (104 days) and u get a total diff. perspective.
Don't feel bad. HR managers are dangerous... but u sure go to HR manager after 200% sure what u wanna tell / ask and/or do with him
man! i'd give up after the 3rd question. i suck at math lol
caused me grief when I was heading up C&B in QGPC. The method of calculating an hourly rate used the number of days in a year. Talk about tight!
duuuuhhh....
how are you? so the above is a joke or is it really a reality show...
ha ha ha! Of course, you don't subtract 104 days from 122 but from 365 and 1/3 should be applied to the result of 365-122 and not to 365
