Negotiations between union members and their employer were at an impasse. The union denied that their workers were flagrantly abusing their contract’s sick-leave provisions.
One morning at the bargaining table, the company’s chief negotiator held aloft the morning edition of the newspaper, “This man,” he announced, “called in sick yesterday!” There, on the sports page, was a photo of the supposedly ill employee, who had just won a local golf tournament with an excellent score.
A union negotiator broke the silence in the room. “Wow,” he said. “Think of what kind of score he could have had if he hadn’t been sick!”

[b]Employee’s Ten Commandments[/b]
1)If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
2)If you can’t get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights.
3)Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.
4)For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
5)Keep your boss’s boss off your boss’s back.
6)Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.
7)To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.
8)The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up.
9)Don’t be irreplaceable, if you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.
10) If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.
Have a good weekend!!!!
