What Makes 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? ''''''
Ever wonder about those people who say ''' they
are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings  ' where someone
wants  you ' to give over 100%.

 
Here's a little mathematical formula
that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
 


H-A -R -D-W-O -R -K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%


and


K -N -O -W-L -E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But ,

A-T  -T -I -T  -U -D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B -U  -L  -L -S -H-I -T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S -S -K -I -S-S -I -N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7   = 118%
'''''    

 

 ...So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty,

that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

'REMEMBER MANY PEOPLE ARE ALIVE
SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL TO SHOOT THEM'

      

Um, I, too, have sat through many meetings where Senior Management have invoked YetAnother 110% Effort.

On one occasion, we were still picking up the fall-out from previous 'Full On' campaign. This manager was noted for his athleticism. I quietly asked his 100 metre time. Though puzzled, pride made him reply. Then I asked his 200 metre. Then his 400 metre. Then his kilometre. Then his half marathon...

At which point, he realised that I had gaffed him.

I pointed out that his previous 110% session had exhausted our 'contingency' stocks of instrument consumables, and we were deep into back-order country. We'd be hard-pressed to support normal production for several weeks, so any hurried 'stupids' by Production would cause grid-lock...

After he finished gulping like a beached guppy, he promised to pass on our concerns...

We later heard that he did, and even quoted my running analogy: He was not a *nice* person, but he could do the math...

          
Now I must see how does it result in Spanish and expose it in the
next boring job meeting  

I've seen it elsewhere, but no one does a funny with your style.
