"I always give more than 100%" !!!!

Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh so I thought you'd appreciate it. This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
1 1+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But, A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you: A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top!!

Work Place Bullying: What are your thoughts?

The government defines work place bullying as follows:

"Bullying includes abuse, physical or verbal violence, humiliation and undermining someone’s confidence."

You are probably being bullied if, for example, you’re:

constantly picked onhumiliated in front of colleagues / regularly unfairly treated / physically or verbally abused / blamed for problems caused by others / always given too much to do, so that you regularly fail in your work

Bullying can be face-to-face, in writing, over the phone or by fax or email. Workers across the UK suffer from bullying in all its horrid forms. A UNISON survey estimated that up to 5 million people are bullied at work in the UK. The net result of this is 18.9 million work days lost to the distress and pain caused. The Andrea Adams Trust is the world's only non-political, non-profit making charity operating as the focus for the diverse and complex problems caused by bullying behaviour in the workplace. They offer excellent advice to anyone who thinks they are being bullied.

Are you a victim or have you experienced Bullying in the Work Place?
