Somebody forward this story to me.. I thought it was amusing..
——
Once upon a time the government with Ruling Party XYZ.. had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.
Ruling Party XYZ Said..
– “Someone may steal from it at night.”
So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Ruling Party XYZ Said..
– “How does the watchman do his job without instruction? ”
So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then Ruling Party XYZ Said..,
– “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?”
So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.
Then Ruling Party XYZ Said.. ,
– “How are these people going to get paid?”
So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.
Then Ruling Party XYZ Said..,
– “Who will be accountable for all of these people?”
So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Ruling Party XYZ Said..,
– “We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost.”
So they lay off the night watchman.
Quite similar to the Current Situation In IT industries.
