got this from one of my high-school buddies -- " How to Place Your New Employees: " " 1. Put 400 bricks in a closed room. " 2. Put your new hires in the room and close the door. " 3. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours. " 4. Then analyze the situation: " " a. If they are counting the bricks, put them in the Accounting Department. " b. If they are recounting them, put them in Auditing. " c. If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in " Engineering. " d. If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in Planning. " e. If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in Operations. " f. If they are sleeping, put them in Security. " g. If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in Information " Technology. " h. If they are sitting idle, put them in Human Resources. " i. If they say they have tried different combinations, they are looking for " more, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in Sales. " j. If they have already left for the day, put them in Management. " k. If they are staring out of the window, put them in Strategic Planning. " l. If they are talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, " congratulate them and put them in Top Management. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
