Losing Your Head Over Bricks
While I don’t work for the best company in the world, at least I don’t have to worry about being treated like this unfortunate bricklayer in Bangladeshi. In order to make the bricks redder, his boss had the bricklayer’s head cut off and burned in the kiln.
This raises a lot of questions about the organization he worked for. Why did they pick that particular guy? Was he that whiner that every company seems to have who complains so much he gets out of all the work? “I have given all the blood, sweat and tears that I can to this group. What do I have to do to give more?”
How did they approach the bricklayer? “Say, Bob, how would you like a promotion and be, ummm, head … of a major project? Once you begin, we believe you will be fired about it!”
Anyway, the Bangladeshi police are looking for the boss and a fortune teller. It was the fortune teller who convinced the boss that a human sacrifice would improve the color of the bricks. What are the odds that she was married to the unfortunate bricklayer? Or maybe she was prophetic when she told this sad builder of bricks that “one day your work will kiln you as you make an ash of yourself.”
Thank goodness, I don’t work there!
