Core Values

So this management guy from a top company gets his date to his conference room, carefully sets up his projector, sprays up his room freshener, adjusts the lighting and begins

"Now you'll see a short movie about me and my activities which will help you understand me better" A short movie with our guy goofing around very similar to the antics of Mr.Bean follows along with the credits.

" Ah! That was a cute little movie. Now this person you see standing in front you has been around since 1885 (oh sorry, that's my company), has been around since 1984 and is a market leader in such and such segments. I am from the marketing department and am extremely pleased to address you today (apart from the fact that no other Marketing guy was willing to do the honors) I have a global presence, you see...sometimes kicked around from Amsterdam to Chicago to Bangalore. "

"Our company believes in three core values - honesty, safety and last but not the least Ecologically friendly. In conforming to our company's policies, I don't think it is in the interest of the environment to waste a nice little red rose just to impress a single female. This brings us to the second core value, Safety. As it is implicitly implied that all food apart from homemade ones are not safe by EU standards, we are not going out for dinner. Yes! WE ARE NOT! Now concentrating on the first and foremost core value, I conform to my company standards and explicitly state that I have no bloody interest in you or your damn family."

"Thats it! Any questions??"" Well, if you have no more questions, I wrap up my short presentation with this. The HR manager will be around to discuss with you the modalities of my relationship with you and its short term and long term benefits. But I can warn you that you would require to sign a 2 year 2 Lacs bond on entering this relationship. Hope you have a nice day and hope we see more often from now. Cya"

"Oh ya, if this doesn't work out, I still need your resume as our Peenya division would be recruiting soon."
