Why Parents Go Grey

The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main computers, dialed the employee's  home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper, "Hello."  
"Is your daddy home?" he asked.  
"Yes," whispered the small voice.  
"May I talk with him?"  
The child whispered, "No."  
Surprised, and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is  your mommy there?"  
"Yes."  
"May I talk with her?"  
Again the small voice whispered, "No."  
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, "Is anybody else there?"  
"Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman."  
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?"  
"No, he's busy", whispered the child.  
"Busy doing what?"  
"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman", came the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone the boss asked, "What is  that noise?"
"A hello-copper" answered the whispering voice.  
"What is going on there?" asked the boss, now alarmed.  
In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team just  landed the hello-copper."  
Alarmed, concerned, and even more then just a little frustrated the boss  asked, "What are they searching for?"  
Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle:  "ME."

Quotes of companies


Here are some of the submissions of actual comments, notices, and statements coming out of different companies:

What I need is a list of specific unknown problems we will encounter. (Lykes Lines Shipping) 

How long is this Beta guy going to keep testing our stuff? (Programming intern, Microsoft IIS Development team) 

E-mail is not to be used to pass on information or data. It should be usedonly for company business. (Accounting Mgr., Electric Boat Company) 

This project is so important, we can't let things that are more important interfere with it. (Advertising/Mktg. Mgr., UPS) 

Doing it right is no excuse for not meeting the schedule. No one will believe you solved this problem in one day! We've been working on it for months. Now, go act busy for a few weeks and I'll let you know when it's time to tell them.(R&D Supervisor, Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing/3M Corp.) 

My boss spent the entire weekend retyping a 25-page proposal that only needed corrections. She claims the disk I gave her was damaged and she couldn't edit it. The disk I gave her was write-protected. (CIO of Dell Computers) 

Quote from the boss: "Teamwork is a lot of people doing what 'I' say." (Mktg. executive, Citrix Corporation) 

My sister passed away and her funeral was scheduled for Monday. When I told my boss, he said she died so that I would have to miss work on the busiest day of the year. He then asked if we could change her burial to Friday. He said,"That would be better for me." (Shipping Executive, FTD Florists) 

We know that communication is a problem, but the company is not going to discuss it with the employees. (AT&T Lone Lines Division)
We recently received a memo from senior management saying, This is to inform you that a memo will be issued today regarding the subject mentioned above." (Microsoft, Legal Affairs Division) 

One day my boss asked me to submit a status report to him concerning a project I was working on. I asked him if tomorrow would be soon enough. He said, "If I wanted it tomorrow, I would have waited until tomorrow to ask for it!" (New Business Mgr., Hallmark Cards) 

As director of communications, I was asked to prepare a memo reviewing our company's training programs and materials. In the body of the memo one of the sentences mentioned the "pedagogical approach" used by one of the training manuals. The day after I routed the memo to the executive committee, I was called into the HR Director's office, and was told that the executive VP wanted
me out of the building by lunch. When I asked why, I was told that she wouldn't stand for "perverts" (pedophiles?) working in her company. Finally he showed me her copy of the memo, with her demand that I be fired, with the word "pedagogical" circled in red. The HR Manager was fairly reasonable, and once he looked the word up in his dictionary and made a copy of the definition to send to my boss, he told me not to worry. He would take care of it. Two days later a memo to the entire staff came out, directing us that no words which could not be found in the local Sunday newspaper could be used in company memos. A month later, I resigned. In accordance with company policy, I created my resignation letter by pasting words together from the Sunday paper.
(Taco Bell Corporation)
