Job Interview

At the end of a job interview, a HR Manager asked the applicant who was a MBA graduate, "What starting salary are you looking for?" He replied, "Nearly $150,000 per year, depending on the benefits package."

The HR Manager said, "Well, what would you say to a package of six weeks vacation, 20 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50 percent of salary and a company car leased every two years - say, a red Ferrari?" The MBA graduate asked, "Wow! Are you kidding?" The HR Manager replied, "Yeah, but you started it."


Alligator Pool

A CEO throwing a party took his executives on a tour of his opulent mansion. In the back of the property, the CEO had the largest swimming pool any of them had ever seen. The huge pool, however, was filled with hungry alligators.

The CEO told his executives, "I think an executive should be measured by courage. Courage is what made me a CEO of a reputed company. So, this is my challenge to each of you: if anyone has enough courage to dive into the pool, swim through those alligators, and make it to the other side, I will give them anything they desire. My job, my money, my house, anything!" Everyone laughed at the outrageous offer and proceeds to follow the CEO on the tour of the estate. Suddenly, they hear a loud splash.

Everyone turns around and sees an Assistant Vice President in the pool, swimming for his life. He dodged the alligators left and right and made it to the edge of the pool with seconds to spare.

He pulled himself out just as a huge alligator snapped at his shoes.

The CEO told the VP, "That's amazing! I've never seen anything like it in my life! You are brave beyond measure, and anything I own is yours.

Tell me what I can do for you." The VP, panting for breath, looked up and said, "Well, you can tell me who the heck pushed me in to the pool!!"


Day off

One day, Johnson went to see his supervisor in his office.

"Boss," he said,"we're doing some heavy housecleaning at home tomorrow, and my wife needs me to help her all day." "Sorry, Johnson," the boss replied. "We're under staffed right now.

I can't give you the day off." "Thanks, boss," Johnson beamed. "I knew I could depend on you!- he said.
