Cannibalizing The Useful Staff
Corporate Cannibals
A large corporation recently hired several cannibals.
“You are all part of our team now,” said the HR rep during the welcoming
briefing.
“You get
all the usual benefits and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat, but
please - don't eat any of the other employees.”
The cannibals promised they would not.
Four weeks later their boss remarked,
“You're
all working very hard, and I'm satisfied with your work. However, one of our
secretaries has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to her?”
The cannibals all shook their heads no. After the boss had left, the leader of
the cannibals said to the others,
“Which one of you
Moroffs ate
the secretary?”
A hand rose hesitantly.
“You fool,” the leader continued.
“For four weeks we've been eating managers and
no one noticed anything. But NO-OOOOO… you had to go and eat someone important!”
