Management Lesson - Never mess with HR
Friday, February 05, 2010
Posted by ASWANI
After 2 years of selfless service, a man realized that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increase no commendation and that the Company is not doing any thing about it. So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager one morning and after exchanging greetings, he told his 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!
The man was surprised to hear this, but the manager went on to explain....
Manager:- How many days are there in a year?
Man:- 365 days and some times 366
Manager:- how many hours make up a day?
Man:- 24 hours
Manager:- How long do you work in a day?
Man:- 8am to 4pm. i.e. 8 hours a day.
Manager:- So, what fraction of the day do you work in hours?
Man:- (He did some arithmetic and said 8/24 hours i.e. 1/3(one third)
Manager:- That is nice of you! What is one-third of 366 days?
Man:- 122 (1/3×366 = 122 in days)
Manager:- Do you come to work on weekends?
Man:- No sir
Manager:- How many days are there in a year that are weekends?
Man:- 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to 104 days
Manager:- Thanks for that. If you remove 104 days from 122 days, how many days do you now have?
Man:- 18 days.
Manager:- OK! I do give you 2 weeks sick leave every year. Now remove that 14 days from the 18 days left. How many days do you have remaining?
Man:- 4 days
Manager:- Do you work on New Year day?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- Do you come to work on workers day?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?
Man:- 2 days sir!
Manager:- Do you come to work on the (National holiday )?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?
Man:- 1 day sir!
Manager:- Do you work on Christmas day?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?
Man:- None sir!
Manager:- So, what are you claiming?
Man:- I have understood, Sir. I did not realise that
I was stealing Company money all these days.

The joke is good, but the logic is not soo great. An emplyer should pay employee on weekends, that's what full time worker means. Freelances are the only people who don get their pay on sat and sundays

Simply put aswani rule number one the boss is always rigt and rule number two if the boss is wrong see rule number one

I never quite like to have HR Manager around as they are too preoccupied with their authority and they tend to bully people including even their own superiors! Organization is getting flatter these days or rather less hierarchical and i believe HR guy can be become redundant in no time. The private sectors nowadays tend to subcontract out their work functions and organization tend to focus on work groups to get the job done. Employees tend to be recruited on a contract basis and remuneration is based on units of work performed. The issue of working overtime and on sundays or public holidays should not be an issue, what on issue is to get the job done within a stipulated period of time and the agreed in advance reward awaits at the end of the period. So bye bye HR guy....!
