After 4 years of selfless service, I realized that I had not been prmoted, no salary increment, no commendation.
So I decided to walk up to my HR Manager. The manager looked at me, smiled and asked me to sit down saying: "My friend you have not worked here for even a single day."


I was shocked to hear this !!!, but the manager went on to explain, and here's the conversation that took place.


Manager: How many days are there in a year?
Me: 365 days and sometimes 366.
Manager: Do u come to work on weekends?
Me: No sir.
Manager: How many days are there in a year that are weekends?
Me: 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to 104 days.
Manager: Thanks for that. If u remove 104 days from 366 days. how many days
do u now have?
Me: 262 days
Manager: How many hours make up a day?
Me: 24 Hours.
Manager: How long do u work in a day?
Me: 7am to 3pm or 3pm to 11pm
(i.e 8 hours a day.)
Manager: So, what fraction of the day do u work in hours?
Me: 8/24
i.e 1/3 (one third).
Manager: This is nice of u! what is 1/3rd of 262 days?
Me: 87
(1/3 x 262 = 87days)
Manager: I do give u 2 weeks sick leave, 15 days casual leave, 5 days optional leave, 30 days earned leave every year. Now remove that 64 days from the 87 days left. How many days do u have remaining?
Me: 23 days.
Manager: Do u work on festivals ? (20 days)
Me: No Sir!
Manager: Do u work on Republic Day?
Me: No sir!
Manager: Do u come to work on Independance Day?
Me: No sir!
Manager: So how many days r left?
Me: 1 day sir!
Manager: Do you come to work on New year's day..?
Me: No sir..!!
Manager: So how many days are left?
Me: None Sir!
Manager: So what r u
claiming?
Me: I have understood, Sir. I did not realise that I was stealing company
money all these days.
Moral - NEVER GO TO HR FOR HELP!!!
(HR-HIGH RISK.)
.
So, How many days do you work?

There is an incorrect logic in post # 1...Can anyone spot! We can declare the winner!

Dear Ganesh,

I guess it is the 'trap' I had mentioned in my earlier post.

How can a day's work be taken as 24 hours when it is normally 9 to 5 with a lunch break, in many offices?

No Madam! Not yet!

The employee actually worked 87 days out of 262 days, at the rate of 8 hours a day. Leave entitlement and other holidays pertain to the remaining days i.e. 262 days minus 87 days.

HR is a special breed in every organization - with massive powers and without any accountability. HR staff, when shifted to other departments have fared very badly. They can argue every case - as beautifully described in the original post as a conversation- and it is a classic example. Very good post.

There existed a clever master in our school, who used to lend money to the poor for a nominal (!!) interest.

He would argue like this: 'If I give you 10 rupees, you should give 11 next week. To save your search for a

one rupee, I will give you 9 rupees now and you can give a 10 rupee note next week' :lol:
