Interesting one... Must read... for all working people...
Hmmm... In retrospective, the story below does hold true on what bosses
expect of their subordinates.....
For your reading pleasure.
A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he sees a dog
coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back again.
So, he goes over to the dog and notices it has a note in its mouth. He takes
the note and it reads, "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please". The
dog has money in its mouth, as well.
The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, there is a ten-dollar note
there. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing
it in the dog's mouth. The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about
closing time, he decides to shut the shop and follow the dog. So off he goes.
The dog is walking down the street, when it comes to a level crossing; the
dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then it waits
patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and it walks across
the road, with the butcher following him all the way. The dog then comes to a
bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe as the dog
stops a bus by pulling its left leg up and gets in it.
The butcher follows the dog into the bus. The dog then shows a ticket,
which is tied to its belt to the bus conductor. The butcher is nearly fainting
at this sight, so are the other passengers in the bus. The dog then sits near
the driver's seat looking outside waiting for the bus stop to come. As soon as
the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags its tail to inform the conductor.
Then, without waiting for the bus to stop completely, it jumps out of the bus
and runs to a house very close to the stop.
It opens the big iron gate and rushes inside towards the door. As it
approaches the wooden door, the dog suddenly changes its mind and heads towards
the garden. It goes to the window, and beats its head against it several times,
walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door. The butcher watches as a big guy
opens the door, and starts abusing the dog, kicking him and punching him, and
swearing at him.
The butcher surprised with this, runs up, and stops the guy. "What in
heaven's name are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the
life of me!" to which the guy responds: "You call this clever? This is the
second time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his key.
Moral of the Story:
You may continue to exceed onlookers' expectations but shall always fall
short of the boss's expectations. It's a dog's life after all....
