How to Place New Hires

Came across this, got a chuckle. Hope you do too.

How to Place New Hires:

1. Put about 100 bricks in no particular order in a closed room with an open window.
2. Send 2 - 3 candidates into the room and close the door.
3. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours.
4. Then analyze the situation.

• If they are counting the bricks, put them in the accounting department.
• If they are recounting them, put them in auditing.
• If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in engineering.
• If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in planning.
• If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in operations.
• If they are sleeping, put them in security.
• If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in information technology.
• If they say they have tried several combinations but are still working on it, yet not a brick has moved, put them in sales.
• If they have already left for the day, put them in marketing.
• If they are staring out of the window, put them in strategic planning.
• If they are talking to the bricks and creating brick ‘families,’ put them in Human Resources.
• If they are talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in top management.
