Scene 2 ::

M1: Either you fix the issue or get someone whom we can put the blame on!!

Scene 4::
M2: "Our satisfaction survey has gone down AGAIN and they have made me the anchor for correcting the same. So we need some guidelines in this regard ?"
M1: "Hmmmmmm let me think !"
M3: "I have a suggestion, employees are working hard and so we can organise a function say ORANGEEE 2007"
M1: " The name sounds familiar!!"
M2: " I have a better suggestion, lets do a re-org. Say lets combine the best and worst to do better!"
M1: " Hmmmmmm"
M1: "Eureka! Eureka! Lets combine our unit with UNIT B amd then have a function. Maybe we call it ORANGEEE 2007" Isnt it brilliant ?
[M2 and M3 looking at each other and slowly clap ]

Scene 5::
Appraisal
M3 : “What paramters define a good appraisal?”
M1: “So let me make you understand what a appraisal is by comparing it with resignation”
1. In appraisal meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures.
In resignation meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success.
2. In appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even 10% hike.
In resignation you can easily demand (or get even without asking) more than 50-60% hike.
3. During appraisal, they will deny promotion saying you didn’t meet the expectation, you don’t have leadership qualities, and you had several drawbacks in our objective/goal.
4. During resignation, they will say you are the core member of team; you are the vision of the company how can you go, you have to take the project in shoulder and lead your juniors to success.
M2 and M3 are amazed and start clapping.

M2: "So lets discuss about the ERR ratings"
M3: "error rating ??"
M1: "hahahahaha not error man! E R R"
M3: "So what is the best practice ? "
M1: "Last time if you gave somebody 1 then give them 2 this time and vice versa."
"Also if someone is going onsite give him 2"
M1: "Simple when in doubt, You always have the golden rule"
M3: "What is the rule ?"
M2: "eena meena deeka"
M1: "Fool, our BMMI certified OSO 00 000 00 company. So we will be using Inky Pinky ponky....."

Scene 6::
SE is called. "May I come in sir?"
M2: "Yes yes come in boss!"
M2: "Boss we are sending u onsite!All the best"
SE goes.
M3: "So is he going USA"
M2: "No no, client location at Whitefield";
M3: "Sakkat thought maga!!!"

Scene 7::
Going home [Song: Chal chalein]

As soon as manager leaves, he packs his bag and leaves!!
