I just received this via email and thought I'd pass it on for a much needed laugh.
YOU MIGHT BE IN THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY IF . . .
1. You sat at the same desk for 4 years and worked for 8 different
managers.
2. Your resume is on a diskette in your pocket.
3. When someone asks you what you do for a living, you lie.
4. You get really excited about a 2% pay increase.
5. You sit in a cubicle smaller than your bedroom closet.
6. It's dark on your drive to and from work.
7. Communication is something your "group" is having problems with.
8. Your salary sucks in the general work field, but "you get to travel".
9. Free food left over from a meeting, or food dumped off a flight for
catering to pick up and trash is your main staple.
10. All art involves a white board.
11. All the work you were hired to do gets done before 9am and after
5pm.
12. You're already late on the assignment you just received.
13. You boss's favorite lines are . . a. "When you get a few minutes..."
" b. "In your spare time ... " c. "I have an opportunity for you ..."
14. 50% of the people in your company do not know what you do
15. The other 50% of the people in your company do not care what you do
16. Vacation is something you rollover to next year or a check you get
every January.
17. Change is the norm.
18. Nepotism is encouraged.
19. You pop open a bottle of Champagne to celebrate your return home
from a trip you took on S/A basis because you actually got on the
flights.
20. You go to work and you are thrilled that your company is still in
business and you still have a job.
21. You watch the evening news every day to find out if your company is
filing for Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 because, as an employee, you are the
last to know.
22. On a pay day you run to the bank to check if your pay is in the
bank.
23. A day at work without snow or rain means more to you than pair of
Business class tickets you won at the Company Christmas party.
24. You read this entire list and understand it perfectly.
