Manager: Fred, I need you to look into the project. I want it before lunch tomorrow.
Fred: I thought this assigment is assigned to Santy. How come this has landed on my lap?
Manager: Santy is too slow. You work more efficient than him, so I am passing this assignment to you.
Fred: You mean, if I work efficiently and get my work done quickly. The only real reward that I get is more work?
Manager: ......
Manager: Shut up. I want this done by tomorrow.
i find this quite funny and true
