A great comment

In the Finance dept where I work, the cynicism is running high. We see the difference of Management "Truth" and the real truth in the numbers being produced. The difference is vast. This leads to many cynical & funny comments being said.

But the other day, a non-Finance staff –S- said a great comment that superseded our levels.

A couple of weeks ago, the EuroLotto Jackpot was £125,000,000 and that got most people of talking about “What would you do if …” The most common answer was holiday, buy a car etc

S would buy the company (£6-8,000,000) and fire all those managers that have been firing long-serving staff. Then she would go on holiday and so on.

After the comment there were a few second of silence and then a great appreciation of her excellent comment. We hadn’t thought about that angle at all – and we gave S all credit she deserved.
