After two years of selfless service, Akpors realized
that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no
salary increase, no commendation and that the
company is not doing anything about it. So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager one
morning and after exchanging greetings, he told
the 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."
Akpors was surprised but the manager went on to
explain:
.
MANAGER: How many days are there in a year?
AKPORS: 365 days and some times 366. MANAGER: How many hours make up a day?
AKPORS: 24 hours.
MANAGER: How long do you work in a day?
AKPORS: 8am to 4pm i.e. 8 hours a day.
MANAGER: So, what fraction of the day do you
work in hours? AKPORS: (he did some arithmetic and said 8/24
hours i.e. 1/3) One-third.
MANAGER: That is nice, what is one- third of 366
days?
AKPORS: 122 (1/3 * 366).
MANAGER: Do you come to works on weekends? AKPORS: No sir.
MANAGER: How many days are there in a year that
are weekends?
AKPORS: 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to
104 days.
MANAGER: Thanks for that. If you remove 104 days from 122 days, how many do you have now?
AKPORS: 18 days.
MANAGER: OK! I do give you two weeks sick leave
every year. Now remove that 14 days from the 18
days left, how many days do you have remaining?
AKPORS: 4 days. MANAGER: Do you work on New Year day?
AKPORS: No sir!
