Protected Poor Performer

"Ms. Jonas, Bev simply isn't working
out. She gets sloppier and sloppier
every day, she accuses me of picking
on her, and she's disrupting other
employees. I've got to get rid of her."

"I understand how you feel, but I'm
not at all sure you've given her a fair
chance. Work with her some more -
- I think you can bring her around."

"But...."

"No more. I've made my decision.
Now you go back and shape her up."

Questionable Status

You get a phone call from Kansas.
The caller says, "Is this Mr. Hansen,
President of Excellence Farms."
Speaking?"

An angry man barks, "One of your
employees, investigators say his
name is Jose Jones, is using my
Social Security number. I got a
letter from the IRS saying I under
paid my income tax each year for
the last three years and am being
charged $4,000 plus fines. Your
employee is using my Social
Security number and I'm going to
sue you for the money I have had
to pay to locate you, you crook."

Shocked I say, "Who are you?".

Ralph at Acme across the street.
"Hey John, what's the excitement?"

in then."

Under the Table

Mr. Ronson, the local Chiropractor
in the office across the hall catches
you on the way to your car. "I see
your daughter is on the Honor Roll
and won awards during the Future
Business Leaders of America
contest last week"
he said as we
approached the door. Proud father
that I am replied, "She's takes after her
mom."

"I Could use some help with my paper
work. Would she like to work for me.
I'll pay her cash so she won't have to
pay income tax,"
he said.
