The Parable of the Happy and Productive Worker


    Once upon a time in a company not far away, there was a worker. He was a productive, happy worker, but alas, he was unsupervised.
    The company saw that the worker was unsupervised and made a supervisor.
    The coordinator saw that the worker was productive and happy and made a lead worker to make the worker more productive and happier.
    The company saw that the department in which the productive, happy worker worked had grown and made a manager to manage the department in which the productive, happy worker worked productively and happily.
    The manager saw that the worker was productive and happy and made an assistant manager to help manage the department in which the productive, happy worker worked.
    The company saw that the department where the happy, productive worker worked had grown and made an administrator to administer the department in which the productive, happy worker worked.
    The administrator saw that the worker was productive and happy and made an assistant administrator to assist in administering the department in which the productive, happy worker worked.
    More people were added until the director saw that the department was losing money. So he consulted a consultant. The consultant examined the department in which the productive, happy worker worked productively and happily and advised there were too many people in the department in which the productive, happy worker worked.
    And the director paid heed to the counsel of the consultant and fired the productive, happy worker.

Well the obvious moral there is to be neither happy nor productive at work.  I shall take that on board.
