Management Jokes


 

The Secret of Success

  1. Find a job.
  2. Find a better job.
  3. Find an even better job.

Those who fly high have repeated this trick a number of times.

Secret of Success 2

  1. The boss is always right.
  2. When the boss is obviously wrong, refer to rule 1.

The Art of Minutes Writing

The worst but most preferred method of recording is verbatim minutes. It is the best answer to questions like "did I say that" or suggestions that "I didn't mean that". Suddenly the Secretary's job is made a lot easier.

MBA

It is a qualification for those who have no idea of what business management is about but want to make people think that they too can run a business. MBA is also a programme that keeps universities' business schools in business. It is strange though that most successful businessmen have no MBAs.

"Workaholic" redefined

  1. An employee devoting too much time to too little work.
  2. A mental disorder of someone whose only life interest is nothing but work.
  3. A supervisory technique of leading by example.
  4. A label for an inefficient employee (or boss)!

The True Meaning of "re-"

Those who cannot survive restructuring, re-engineering, redeployment, retraining, etc. will have to resign, or to be fired.

Get it Right the First Time

If you start wondering whether you have made the right career choice, it is already too late!

What besides Serving the Community

Wasting fellow civil servants' time! Blame it on today's ultra-fine division of labour and delegation of authority.
