Joke: IT staff vs Managment

[Darth_mel]

Think this was posted a while back, but is still worth a laugh.

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're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'

 

'You must be in Information Technology,' 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've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip.'

 

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're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've 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.'

you need someone who, neither here nor there, likely junior management, to bridge them together.. and this job sucks..

 

whacked by the engineer cos he's frustrated by you asking him things again and again (and may even smoke you blur), and whacked by higher management cos he's pissed the engineer don't/can't do what he wanted in mind (which he probably can't understand why its technically not possible)
