How to Place New Employees in the Organization...

I'd like to thank Angela for this really funny piece but she had nothing to do with it...

Place 400 bricks in a room. Gather the new employees, put them in the room and close the door. After 6 hours open the door and note your findings then use the following criteria for the proper job placement.

If they are counting the bricks, put them in the accounting department.

If they are recounting them, put them in auditing.

If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in engineering.

If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in planning.

If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in operations.

If they are sleeping, put them in security.

If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in information technology.

If they are sitting idle, put them in human resources.

If they say they have thought of different combinations, they are looking for more, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in sales.

If they have already left for the day, put them in marketing.

If they are staring out of the window, put them in strategic planning.

If they are talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, put them in top management.

If they have surrounded themselves with bricks in such a way that they can neither be seen nor heard from, let them go immediately. Under no circumstances should you hire politicians.

Musicians and Some Ponderables

A man was telling his friend about his upstairs neighbors. "They started to jump up and down on the floor at five o'clock in the morning!"

His friend asked, "well, didn't that disturb you? Didn't you complain?

"No-it didn't disturb me. I was practicing my trumpet."
