Salary Increase

Got this from my friend, didn't realized all these before...

After 2 years of selfless service, a man realized that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increment, no commendation and that his company is not doing anything about it. So, he decided to walk up to his HR Manager one morning and after exchanging greetings, he told his HR his observation. The Manager looked at him, laughed and asked him to sit down, saying:

My friend, you have not worked here for even a day. The man was surprised to hear this, but the manger went on to explain;

Manager: How many days are there in a year?
Man: 365 days and sometimes 366.

Manager: How many hours are there in a day?
Man: 24 hours.

Manager: How long do you work in a day?
Man: 8am to 4pm; 8 hours a day.

Manager: So, what fraction of the day do you work in hours?
Man: One third.

Manager: That’s nice of you! What is one third of 366 days?
Man: 122 (366 x 1/3)

Manager: Do you work on weekends?
Man: No sir.

Manager: How many weekends are there in a year?
Man: 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays = 104 days.

Managers: if you remove 104 days from 122 days, how many days are left now?
Man: 18 days.

Manager: Ok, I do give you 2 weeks sick leave every year. Remove 14 days from the 18 days left, how many days do you have remaining?
Man: 4 days.

Manager: Do you work on New Year day?
Man: No sir.

Manager: Do you come to work on workers day?
Man: No sir.

Manager: So how many days are left?
Man: 2 days sir.

Manager: Do you come to work on the National Day?
Man: No sir.

Manager: So how many days are left?
Man: 1 day sir.

Manager: Do you work on Christmas day?
Man: No sir.

Manager: so how many days are left?
Man: None sir.

Manager: So what are you claiming?
Man: I have understood sir. I did not realize that I was stealing company money all these days.

Moral of the story – Never go to your HR for help!!!
HR = High Risk
