Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young engineer fresh out of IIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"

The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."

The interviewer said, well, what you would say to:

Package of 10 weeks’ annual vacation,

21 paid holidays,

Full medical and dental,

Company matching retirement fund for 50 percent of your salary,

Company car leased every 2 years -- say, a red Corvette?"

The engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"

And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."

Have a nice day...

REPORT FROM PROJECT HR TO H.O.

e-mail one

Attention: Head Office-Human Resources

Joe Smith, our assistant programmer, can always be found

hard at work in his cubicle. Joe works independently, without

wasting company time talking to colleagues. Joe never

thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always

finishes given assignments on time. Often Joe takes extended

measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping

coffee breaks. Joe is an individual who has absolutely no

vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound

knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Joe can be

classed as a high-calibre employee, the type which cannot be

dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Joe be

promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be

executed as soon as possible.

Regards,

Project H.R.
