Every day, a small ant whistled and sang as he made his way to work. He always arrived very early and set to work immediately. He produces a lot and is very happy.
The MD, a lion, was surprised to find that the ant was working without supervision. He thought that if the ant could produce so much without supervision, how much more could he produce if he had a supervisor.
So the lion recruited a cockroach. The cockroach had extenasive experience as a supervisor and was famed for the excellent reports that he wrote.
The first decision that the cockroach made was to set up a time and attendance clocking system. Then he decided that he needed a secretary to help him write and type his reports, so he recruited a spider, who managed the archives and monitored all phone calls.
The lion was delighted with the cockroach's reports and asked him to produce graphs to describe production rates and analyse trends, so that he could use them to present at Board meetings.
So the cockroach had to buy a new computer and a laser printer and recruit a fly to manage the IT department.
The ant, once so productive and relaxed, hated the plethora of paperwork and meetings that now took up most of his time.
The lion came to the conclusion that is was high time that someone was nominated to take charge of the department where the ant worked.
So the position was given to a grasshopper, whose first decision was to buy a carpet and ergonomic chair for his office. The grasshopper also needed a computer and a personal assistant, who he brought from his previous department, to help him prepare a Work and Budget Control Strategic Optimisation Plan.
Of course, the cockroach's reports now had first to be presented to the grasshopper to make sure that they aligned with the WBCSO Plan.
The department where the ant works is now a sad place where nobody laughs and everyone has become upset and are often ill.
So the grasshopper convinced the lion that is was absolutely essential that they start a climatic and environmental study.
When he reviewed the costs of running the ant's department, the lion found out that production was much less than before. So he recruited a prestigious and renowned consultant, an owl, to carry out an audit and recommend solutions.
The owl spent three months in the department and produced an enormous report, in several volumes, that concluded 'the department is overstaffed'
Guess who the lion fired first?
Yes, the ant of course because he 'showed lack of motivation and had a negative attitude' .
