It was a hot meeting at the office conference hall. All the people from
the department had been called. The VP was looking much tensed.
The mood was very bad. My friend asked me -"Hey, what is this
meeting all about?" I told - "May be they will decide on when to have the next
meeting." People around smiled at each other. Then the VP started
talking. It was about the recent attrition rate that was so high.
Around 10 people had put in their papers. All experienced guys. It was
quarter end and so work was huge. "If we do not complete the work on time, we
need to be paying heavy penalty" said the VP. The VP turned to the
manager and told "Hey - take how much ever resources you want. Recruit or take
them from other departments. But complete the work in another 25 days."
To this the sweet manager replied "Sir! Give me one wife and nine
months and I shall show you results. Don't give me nine wives and one
month. I cannot do anything." Everyone looked at him blank. The VP was not prepared for this answer.
We looked at the manager and thought "What an Awesome Reply man!"
