HOW TO PROPERLY PLACE NEW EMPLOYEES

[Charlie]

1. Put 400 bricks in a closed room.
2. Put your new hires in the room and close the door.
3. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours, then analyze the situation:
- If they're counting the bricks, put them in the Accounting Department.
- If they're recounting them, put them in Auditing.
- If they've messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in Engineering.
- If they're arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in Planning.
- If they're throwing the bricks at each other, put them in Operations.
- If some of the bricks are missing, put them in Logistics.
- If they've broken the bricks into pieces, put them in Information Technology.
- If they're sitting idle, put them in Human Resources.
- If they say they've tried different combinations, they're looking for more, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in Sales.
- If they've already left for the day, put them in Marketing.
- If they're staring out of the window, put them in Strategic Planning.
- If they're talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in Senior Management.
