Ce mi-a plăcut (săptămâna 267)

1 mi-a adus aminte de niște glume management & shit (bullshit included) related. Să le las, de nu e cu bănat.

A turkey was chatting with a bull. „I would love to be able to get to
the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, „but I haven’t got the energy.
„Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull.
„They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and
found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch
of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the
second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched
at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot
the turkey out of the tree.

Management Lesson:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

Lesson Number Three
When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss. The
brain said, „I should be Boss because I control the whole body’s responses
and functions.” The feet said, ” We should be Boss as we carry the brain
about and get him to where he wants to go. The hands said, „We should be
the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money.” And so it went
on and on with the heart, the lungs and the eyes until finally the asshole
spoke up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss.
So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work.
Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet
twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered.
Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss, so the
motion was passed.

Management Lesson:
You don’t need brains to be a Boss – any asshole will do.

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a
cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in
the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was
actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began
to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to
investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the
pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out. Then he ate him!

Management Lessons:
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you’re in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!

Legat de ”Mai bine ne cumpărăm cu toții un buton „bullshit”, zic”, am apreciat mesajul și simbolistica butonului, dar autoarea articolului și l-a pus pe birou și doar ”bunul simț” a împiedicat-o să-l și folosească. Altfel, am râs. Pentru că pur și simplu mi-am imaginat un șef/o șefă cu buton din acela pe birou și un angajat/o angajată care scoate tacticos din buzunar/din geantă un gadget sub formă de penis, culoare naturală, cu mesajul ”suge-mă”. Cred că trainerul cel simpatic ce le-a dat butonul cursanților, ar fi trebuit, totuși, să adauge niște disclaimere, ceva, despre cum ar fi ok să se folosească un buton de genul.
