If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation. Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity A person who smiles in the face of adversity...probably has a scapegoat. Plagiarism saves time. If at first you don't succeed, try management. Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether. TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself. The beatings will continue until morale improves. Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups. We waste time, so you don't have to. Hang in there, retirement is only thirty years away! Go the extra mile. It makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker. A snooze button is a poor substitute for no alarm clock at all. When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break. INDECISION is the key to FLEXIBILITY. Succeed in spite of management. Aim Low, Reach Your Goals, Avoid Disappointment. By Deva Raju, Sr. Technical recruiter at Makro Technologies, Inc | Political Philosophies Explained in Simple Two-Cow Terms | Add a comment » | Started by Deva Raju, Sr. Technical recruiter at Makro Technologies, Inc | SOCIALISM You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor. COMMUNISM You have two cows. The government takes them both and provides you with milk. FASCISM You have two cows. The government takes them and sells you the milk. BUREAUCRACY You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours it down the drain. CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. CORPORATE You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to produce the milk of four cows, then act surprised when it drops dead. DEMOCRACY You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point that you must sell them both in order to pay the taxes to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow which was a gift from your government.

By Deva Raju, Sr. Technical recruiter at Makro Technologies, Inc | Thoughts from work | Add a comment » | Started by Deva Raju, Sr. Technical recruiter at Makro Technologies, Inc | My boss came in one morning and caught me hugging my secretary. He said in a rage, "Is this what you get paid for ?" I told him, "Nope ! I do this for free." This same boss was into all this dumb inspirational and motivation stuff too. I remember once he posted a sign which read "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday." I couldn't resist and added a note: "And now you know why too". Once I came upon this pretty new temp standing in front of the paper shredder with a confused look on her face. I asked if she needed any help and she said, "Yeah, how does this thing work ?" I took the papers from her hand and demonstrated how to work the shredder. She stood there a moment with yet another confused expression, so I said, "Any questions ?" She said, "Yeah, exactly where do the copies come out from ?" People always say that hard work never killed anybody. Oh yeah ??? When's the last time ya ever heard of anyone who "rested to death". Being punctual in our Office was of no benefit what-so-ever. There was never anybody around to appreciate it. Our Office was always on the cutting edge of technology. Not only did we have computers which spoke as well as listened; Hell, some of them even got ulcers. Did ya ever notice the people who complain the most about not having enough time to do all their work are the same ones who always stop & tell everyone that they don't have enuff time to do all their work.

By Deva Raju, Sr. Technical recruiter at Makro Technologies, Inc | Top 25 Engineer's Terms and Expressions (What they say versus what they mean) | 1 comment » | Started by Deva Raju, Sr. Technical recruiter at Makro Technologies, Inc | A number of different approaches are being tried.

(Let's spread the responsibility for this.) Give us the benefit of your thinking. (We'll listen to what you have to say as long as it doesn't interfere with what we have already done or with what we are going to do.) Give us your interpretation. (We can't wait to hear your bull.) See me or let's discuss. (Come to my office, I've messed up again.) All new. (Parts are not interchangeable with previous design.) Rugged. (Don't plan to lift it without major equipment.) Robust!
