"
It’s my first day at my new job, and my manager is giving me the grand tour.
Then the big boss, the owner of the company, strolls over.
Boss: “Ah, you must be [My Name]! Come on, there’s someone I want you to
meet.”
He leads me to a desk in the corner, where an older gentleman is carefully
adjusting the monitor on what looks like a computer straight out of the Windows
XP era.
Boss: “This is Gary.”
Gary: “Afternoon! Welcome aboard.”
Boss: “Gary’s our archive specialist. If you need anything from the old
system, just email him a request.”
The boss then takes me into his office, which I think is a little odd. He’s
the owner of the whole company; isn’t he a little busy?
Boss: “Okay, so here’s the deal. Gary is my dad. He retired years ago from
the Royal Mail. Then we had the double whammy of my mum dying, and he having
memory issues. So I brought him in, set up a desk, and gave him the job. He
doesn’t know it’s just something to keep him active and social. His salary
comes directly out of my pocket, not the company’s books. With me so far?”"
Share and enjoy,
