Engineers vs Managers


Recommended Posts

Engineers vs Managers A repeat but worth it..

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude

and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse

me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago,

but

I don't know where I am."

The woman below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon

hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and

41degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer", said the balloonist.

"I am", replied the woman. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is

technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your

information,

and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so

far."

The woman below responded, "You must be in management."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you

are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of

hot air. You made a promise, which you have no idea how to keep, and

you

expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is, you are

in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now,

somehow,

it's my fault."

not all managers are ###### up. some are good

Erm maybe abt one in a MILLION!?!?!? Almost all managers in sg are thrown into their positions due to their academic achievements, NOT by their work experience... <_<
