Sometimes we think people know, but.

This is a story that I hope makes you laugh. You know laughter is good for you, so it is my intent that this story put you into a real belly laugh.

Businesses today want their associates (employees). I am still from the employee day. I know that associate is suppose to make those working in an organization feel more part of the it, but they still get a pay check and report to some one. Thus they are worker bees. Maybe that could be the new term for associate “Worker Bee”.

Now I am way away from the story. So I’ll get started. John a young man with a young family and wants to do the best for his family and the company he is part of. Did you notice I didn’t say work for the company.

Organizations all want their associates to really like what they do, so they work hard at having their associates feel good about what they do. There is the company picnic, the annual dinner and many other things to get the whole family involved.

Oh I for got the different awards that are given out during the year. Years Top Sales person, Best in Customer Service, Best attendance and the list goes on. Again these things are to make everyone feel important except for those that don’t get them and fell they should have.

Will John being a good associate and family man always wants to do the right thing. Coming up was bring your child to work day. John couldn’t wait to till his daughter that he was taking her to work with him next Friday, so she won’t have to go to school that day. Sally was ecstatic. She not only did have to go to school, but also would be able to spend the day with her Dad.

Friday came and Sally was ready a half and hour before she had to be. In the trade we would call this being pumped and ready to go. John and Fran, Sally’s mother, made sure Sally look just right. John and Sally got in the car and were off to work. When Sally go to here Dad’s place of work she seem a little puzzled, but didn’t say anything. Then finally she had to ask her dad questions. “Dad” she said,” do you drive a truck or do you sort boxes”

John had no ideas what she was talking about. So John said “UBS, the firm I am part of, is a international bank” Sally said in a disappointed tune “I thought you were a truck driver and worked for UPS.
