Found this, thought I would share
A few years ago I was hired to replace a retiring veteran in IT, and on
his last day, he handed me 3 envelopes. I asked about these and he told
me that when things got crazy and I didnt know what to do, open the
first envelope and it would help me out. Then he said that after a while
I would run into another bind and for me to open the 2nd envelope for
guidance. He then told me that I would no doubt encounter another crisis
and for me to open the 3rd envelope when that happened. So a few months
down the road a situation came up and I was clueless so I opened the
first envelope. It simply said, Tell them you are still new to the
position and it takes time to build your own footprint in this business
but you are almost there. I did this and to my amazement it bought me
some relief from upper management. A few months later, I again had
things go haywire and opened the 2nd envelope. It simply said, Blame
everything on me. Tell them I had gotten soft in my execution and it
must be the reason for my retirement. I felt bad to do this but he
suggested it so I did and it worked amazingly well. Finally a good bit
of time passed and I again ran into a bind and just didnt know what to
do and opened the final envelope. I slumped in my chair as it said:
Prepare 3 envelopes.
