Wait A Minute!
www.twobarkingdogs.com
This one I got wind of at work. One of my co-workers was taking some customers around the building. One of the things she showed them was our community board where HR showed our involvement in the local area. As she pointed out some of the community services we did, she stop at the one for "Day of Caring". She gasped and said, "Wait a minute! He works here!".
"Day of Caring" showed some of the employees painting a home for the mentally challenged. Below that it showed some of the residences sitting around the table except one of them was an employee. That person was Hank. Someone did a cut and paste job on the article.
Hank, the best way to describe him, was a survivor. He lost his job earlier and got hired as an inspector for a janitorial service. This was big step down for him considering he was a first line manager of some unnecessary department like "plant watering". As he was inspecting our building at night, he talked to some of the people who were working late. The employees seen right through him for what he was but this one manager felt sorry for him and got him a job in our company. He got him a job as manufacturing liaison. That didn't last long because he had no idea about about manufacturing. He messed some of the projects up pretty bad. Again this one manager felt sorry for him and created a special HR position for him! One that didn't exist before. Tailored to his abilities. Of course that wasn't working out too well for him either.
I don't condone this joke but in a way it was fitting for Hank. He did complain and you can hear some of the managers were on a witch hunt looking for who did the cut and paste job. However, that got quieted done real quick by the manager who hired Hank in the first place. "It was all in good fun", as he says trying to protect his ass.
As far as Hank. Somehow he knew a few months in advance that we were getting laid off and managed to find even a better job. There's no justice.
