Hereafter is another classic story.
Long time ago, when we were having weekly finance manager meeting, two
biggest rivalries(SEC vs. ACC) in the world clashed with each other; both
sides were shooting fire arms at each other and the whole meeting room was a
heck of chaos:
……
The SEC side said:” we are always committed to our ER deadline. But we can
’t do our reporting until accounting (ACC) learn to be committed to the
deadline.
……
The ACC side said:” the financial system were down last week; we told u’
all this already and you still setup a stupid deadline. There is no fxxking
way we can provide the reports by XXX.”
……
Finally CFO had enough, here comes the classic part: “I don’t know any
fXXking commitment. I didn’t get married until I was 40 (he was a playboy
and just married a young hot chick then)
Meeting adjourned……in laugh.
……
Everybody leave except CFO, Corporate Controller and VP-SEC reporting.
The door of meeting room closed
……
We overheard heated thunders and storms from the meeting room, a really long
one. :) | P******e 发帖数: 229 | 2 Please keep going and they good stories.
I want to add one too.
The salary increase depends on our contribution, also depends on the company
’s budget and need. This is a small firm. For many years, everybody was
underpaid. Some of them tried to talk with the boss about the increase, but
nothing changed. Some people left. One day, the company’s structure changed
significantly and some important people left. Then after another tax season
, everybody’s salary increased significantly. Some people still left for
various reasons. Then it was hard to find new replacements, in that market.
After long time, they finally found somebody and paid the new hire a premium
salary. |
