The HR Manager – Funny Conversation

After 2 years of selfless service, a man realized that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increment, no commendation.So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager. His manager looked at him, smiled and asked him to sit down saying:
“My friend you have not worked here for even a single day.”
The man was surprised to hear this , but the manager went on to explain.
Manager : How many days are there in a year?
Man       : 365 days and sometimes 366.
Manager : How many hours make up a day?
Man       : 24 hours
Manager : How long do u work in a day?
Man       : 10am to 6pm i.e 8 hours a day.
Manager : So,what fraction of the day do u work in hours?
Man       : He did some arithmetic and said 8/24 i.e 1/3 (one third)
Manager : This is nice of u! What is 1/3rd of 366 days?
Man       : 122 (1/3 x 366 =122 in days)
Manager : Do u come to work on weekends?
Man       : No sir.
Manager : How many days are there in a year that are weekends?
Man       : 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to 104 days.
Manager : Thanks for that.If u remove 104 days from 122 days, how many days do u now have?
Man       : 18 days.
Manager : I do give u 2 weeks sick leave every year. Now remove that 14 days from the 18 days left.
How many days do u have remaining?
Man       : 4 days
Manager : Do u work on Republic Day?
Man       : No sir !
Manager : Do u come to work on Independence Day?
Man       : No sir !
Manager : So how many days are left?
Man       : 2 days sir !
Manager : Do u come to work on New Years Day?
Man       : No sir !
Manager : So how many days r left ?
Man       : 1 day sir !
Manager : Do u work on Christmas Day?
Man       : No sir !
Manager : So how many days are left ?
Man       : None sir !
Manager : So what are u claiming ?
Man       : !!!
Moral     : NEVER GO TO HR FOR HELP !!!
HR- HIGH RISK

    Wrong Calculation he work 8/24= 1/3= 122 this is th total work days in year
    so 365 – 122= 243 days

    from this 243 days he have to deduct the vactions and weekends …

    but that man is stupid ^_^

    I wonder how this person is still in this position of H.R. Manager.-
    My opinion – Since no one is working, according to so called his
    well calculated MATHS:, the company should shut down .

    It is the duty of Management to help create the right environment for workers at all level to feel dignified and comfortable economically and emotionally so that in time of crisis they are willing and ready to go the extra mile. This case is an example of total failure when it comes to motivation and perspective.

  16. Saleem November 27, 2012 at 10:18 AM #

    I believe HR manager is reflecting his own performance

  22. Ahsan K. Bajwa September 8, 2012 at 5:47 AM #

    Dear Sara,
    I really enjoyed this joke/story, because it’s genuine, and I haven’t seen it ever before. It’s hilarious.
    Thanks.

    • Sara - Admin September 24, 2012 at 7:18 PM #

      Thanks Ahsan.

    selfish man can never understand others pain and wants to devalue it with a jerk of head

    • M.M Bello September 18, 2012 at 1:42 PM #

      Skybeen, the HR manager forgot that the same applies to him

  24. Hussain R HJI May 16, 2012 at 10:43 PM #

    Hi Sara, that was good one, I’ll add an H to HR-H to read His Royal Highness and thats what they are, who can object them: any way read this:

    My Boss & I

    When I take a long time – I am slow When my boss takes a long time He is thorough When I don’t do it I am lazy When my boss dosen’t do it He is too buusy When I do something without being told I am trying to be smart When my boss does the same that is initiative When I please my boss I’am apple polishing When my boss please his boss He’s co-operating and When I do good, my boss never remembers. When I do wrong, he never forgets.

    that is the condition in our system, Q: how can we change that ?

  25. khan May 12, 2012 at 6:35 PM #

    The days HR manager told to take out are all lawfull holidays and covered under contract of the employees and its under the law of land.that idiot has to be killed for irritating unnecessary and giving mental tension.

    when you decide to give something, you have many other ways to calculate and many other logics to evaluate the performance. when you decide to give nothing, you have many similar ways of calculation and many other logics to prove that one deserves NOTHING. 🙂

    very interesting

    confusing much?!

  32. Anonymous July 1, 2011 at 7:52 AM #

    This joke stops you take away time from your hard working hours. The fact that this joke won the 4th prize is the real joke. And it says that the majority of voters have a phobia of simple arithmetic .

    This manger can be gangs boss better than company H.R manager.

  36. Yasin June 19, 2011 at 6:02 AM #

    Absolutely Correct and mathematically proved. It is an superb conversation.

  37. Shakabansh5 June 18, 2011 at 8:21 PM #

    Hi, Sara : this is real juke ,this employee not educated enough to descuss his satuation.

  38. Rami Y. Nasser June 18, 2011 at 6:11 PM #

    I wonder what happened to the poor guy’s employment contract !!!
    You know he would’nt have had all this fuss if he had a contract .

    Contracts were made for everything agreed and disagreed upon by both (or more) parties , contarcts were made long before our grand grand parents were even born , even our Prophet Mohammed PBUH has recommended us to use written contracts inorder to maintain stability and avoid conflict .

    Anyways thanks for such a great lesson Sara , and good luck to everybody with the calculations 😉

  39. Prof Hela200 June 18, 2011 at 5:06 PM #

    this is wrong…
    the guy works 8 hours from monday to friday ,, 8 x 5 = 40 hours
    i year 52 weeks, so ,,, 40 x 52 = 2080 hours , which is 86 days if minus 2 wks of sick leave, 86 – 14= 72 so if you remove the holidays, thats nothing….

    wrong calculation

  40. Daliarabat June 18, 2011 at 3:00 PM #

    what alucky man to have such a manager!

  41. Goldypearl June 18, 2011 at 10:45 AM #

    ???????????????

  42. Haider Ali786 June 18, 2011 at 10:14 AM #

    I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY ONLY 204 DAY AND HOW?

  43. Mahc June 18, 2011 at 7:28 AM #

    wrong math
    why to subtract ?

  44. Rami El Afandy June 18, 2011 at 6:58 AM #

    Mathematically wrong…
    He should have subtracted weekends and vacations first to get the working days and then divide this by 3… not the other way around…
    nice trick 🙂

  45. Angle of Death June 18, 2011 at 6:39 AM #

    Damn. 

    No wonder all HR managers are of the same kind. Dude, I would punch that manager dead. 

    Cool story.
