Posted on by rlodhiya

Every day, a small ant arrives at work very early and starts work immediately. She produces a lot and she was happy. The Chief, a lion, was surpised to see that the ant was working without supervision. He thought if the ant can produce so much without supervision, wouldn't she produce even more if she had a supervisor! So he recruited a cockroach who had extensive experienceas supervisor and who was famous for writing excellent reports. The cockroach's first decision was to set up a clocking in attendance system. He also needed a secretary to help him write and type his reports and he recurited a spider, who managed the archives and moniotred all phone calls. The lion was delighted with the cockroach's report and asked him to produce graphs to describe production rates and to analyses trends, so that he could use them for presentations at Board's meetings. So the cockroach had to buy a new computer and a laser printer and recuited a fly to manage the IT department. The ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed, hated this new plethora of paperwork and meetings which used up most of her time...!!The lion came to the conclusion that it was high time to nomiate a person in charge of the department where the ant worked. The position was given to the cicada, whose first decision was to buy a carpet and an ergonomic chair for his office. The new person in charge, the cicada, also needed a computer and a personal assistant, who he bought from his pervious department, to help him perpare a Work and Budget Control Strategic Optimisation Plain... The Department where the ant works is now a sad place, where nobody laughs anymore and eveybody has became upset..., It was at that time that the cicada convinced the boss, the lion, of the absolute necessity to start a climate study of the enviorment.Having reviewed the charges for the running the ant's department, the lion found out that the production was much less than before ever. So he recruited the owl, a prestigious and renowned consultant to carry out an audit and suggest solutions. The owl spent three months in the department and came up with enormous report, in serveral volumnes, that concluded: "The departmen is overstaffed.." Guess who the lion fires first?
