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. |
